Tire Rub

Ive got some 225/55/16R's on the back of my stang. i wanna put 255's on but ive only got about half an inch between the tires and the aftermarket mac exhaust. i dont think theyll fit but theres gotta be some way to squeeze those bad boys in there...? also im going to put a 2 inch drop, but i dont think it will interfere with the clearance because there is plenty of room in the wheelwell. anybody have input?

RE: Tire Rub

is your exhaust setup correctly? you can fit a 255 easily, I always ran 245-50-16's when I had ponies

RE: Tire Rub

ya the tips have been on there for sometime. i dont know if its just the macs that run a little wide because i know flowmasters fit the 255's no problem...
