Default So I just got 315...
A guy came into work the other day and bought 4 new tires and just tossed his 315/35/17 Goodyear F1's so i snatched em up and put them on my car. I know they are overkill for my car but they have like 70% tread and they were free!!! Anyways I do not have any suspension mods and was wondering if you guys have any tricks to make them fit better? They rub on the torsion bars a little. I'm thinking 1/8" or 1/4" spacers what do you think?

yeah just get a small spacer plate, it will make the rears sit a little nicer in the wheel well anyway
