whats up cali fords! i am planning to buy a pair of the nitto 315/30/18's for my 2002 gt and was wondering if i need any work in order for it to fit? i am currently running 285/35/18's on 18x10 american racing rebel rims and have no issue with rubbing! i did have 305/35/18's and 295/35/18's that rubbed real bad on the fenders and since im thinking about going wider again, i would like to know what work/parts do i need so i wont have that problem again?!? as for my suspension upgrades i have tokico blue shocks/struts and eibach sportline lowering springs. do i need to get adjustable lca's, roll the fenders, etc...?!? any info would be great!!!!! thanks jon [patriot] [burnout]

i had 315 on my 00 gt before and they would rub whenever the body would flex, so just roll your fenders and go from there, if they still rub after that then your car might be to low.

Why pretent someone u are not, everyone else could see it.

right on, thanks! what rear suspension mods did u have when u were running the 315's? hopefully rolling the fenders and getting adjustable lca's would do it. [patriot]

when i had the 315's i had the eibach springs, and u should be fine if u roll the fenders and that's good that u are getting adj controls arms.

Are you going to roll the fenders your self?
