anyone running 305's on a sportline kit??
i just picked up some 305's and theyre about to be someones for a really low price if i can't figure out a way to get them to stop rubbing. i've probably enjoyed no more then a hundred miles on these tires just because i don't want to mess them up by rubbing so bad.
so please give me a solution!!!!
if not then they're yours....

as everyone else has said, have any pictures?
I'm assuming there rubbing at the outer edge of the fender due to how most wheels fit on these cars....and if that's the case there's not really much you can do. Hopefully Joe's "possible solution" will help. If it doesn't, you'll either have to put a more narrow tire on the rim or raise the rear up with a different set of springs.

Rougher springs maybe but then, you'll have a race car feel. And you'll loose all your fillings.
I do hope he's talking about rear rubbing problems because 305s on the front will never fit, no matter what rim you're running!
Some people call the rear quarter panel "fender" and it gets confusing when they do that...

I'm rubbing right on the edge of the quarter panel. I'll get some picks up tonight. They look really good and the car looks really mean, I just don't know if its worth the money spent on them to mess them up so fast and mess up my quarter panels from the rubbing.
