I used 9" wide Cobra R's with 255/40/17 on the backs and they didn't rub at all with the stock springs, after I lowered it with Sportlines it rubbed on hard bumps so I ended up rolling the fenders. All four of them..

Stock height? What diameter wheel are you looking towards?

My choice of wheels would be between 15x10" Welds w/6.5" BS or 15x9" Bogarts w/6" BS. What size radial would work w/out having to roll the outer lips? I'd take the quadshocks out & can massage the inner of the wheel well, though. Stock height.

If you are talking about your GT. 15x8/15x9 with 5.50 inch backsetting (offset) with some 275/60/15 radials will fit no problem.

i have 275-40-17's on the rear. With the kumho's it rubbed a ton on any kind of semi bad driveway no matter how I drove it in (back rubbing)
With the nitto dr's it doesn't seem nearly as bad ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif) same size tire.

So you now have 275/45/17's drag radials and they don't rub as bad as the street tires did? Did you remove the quad shocks and/or do you have the fenders rolled at all?

No on both cases actually. To my great surprise the 255's up front did way better then the old 245 kumho's I had. I don't get it either?
