Tire and spring help

Can you fit a 17x10.5 deep dish bullit in the back with 295 nitto drag radials with your car lowered with h&r sportlines without the finders being rolled?

RE: Tire and spring help

295's are way too skinny on a 10.5" rim, yes you can fit a 295 under there, I have 295's on 18x10 saleens and I have my coilovers set to about 2 1/4" lower than stock. However I would beware in corners, as I was doing a track run and on an extreme corner with the car angled with all the weight on the rear passenger side, I hit the plastic guard and the bump caused my fender and wheel to come into contact and shredded the tire to bits. So I would recommend having your fenders rolled.

Depends on the manufacturer. BFG, Goodyear and Michelin all run big. Suckitomo, Nitto, Toyo and Falken run small. A BFG 295 is about the same width as a 315 Nitto.
