Too much tire? [sm=dontgetit.gif] You can't have too much tire.

If you go with a 10.5 wheel don't you need spacers or something??

A local tire guy was saying that 10.5s won't fit on my car without something ???

Nope and you can run bigger than 315's. I was told my 335's would never fit. Well, they do and I still have my quad shocks.

No, you don't need spacers.. That would be for the cobra guys with the IRS.

If you are not going to put 315's on the back buy a 9 inch wide rim. Don't buy a large rim and try to stretch some small tires on it, it just doesn't come out right.

Ya I love how belle tire guys try telling me rediculous things like how I can't even put 275's on it without a spacer. Haha

you will be able to put 305's on the back wiht those rims. my buddy got em on his MACH 1 an they look great. your car might slow down a bit becasue its pushing way more tire.

and no, you wont need a spacer with just a GT or MACH 1 they will fit
