Default Real quick

My Pro Stars came in the other day. For the rear I got 15x10 with a 6.5" backspacing. I don't have tires for them yet, but my local tire shop has 2 325/50/15 BFG's on the way for me. Now yesterday I put the ProStars on to see if they were the right size and bolt pattern before I put tires on them, just to make sure.

The only problem I see is it looks like the tire is going to come pretty close to the exhaust pipe. But I can't really tell. I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar size tire in the back and if they had any rubbing issues on the exhaust pipe. The rear suspension is stock, not lowered.

i had to bang in the exhaust with a mallet to clear. I also had to flatten the inner fenderwell to get my slicks on.

You might need to tweek the exhaust a little, my 295/35/18s rubbed a tiny bit on my right tail pipe until I adjusted the H-pipe.

I have 17x10.5's with 315/35-17's and I'm lowered a good bit and don't have any rubbing issues.

+1 Try repositioning the tailpipes and it will likely give you more clearance.
