Default Tire fitment?
I just got around to attempting to put on my 17 inch cobras with Mickey thompson street radials on today.. and it doesnt come anywhere close to fitting because of the exhaust. Any ideas on how to get my tires to fit? there is no way that dropping the exhaust lower will work.. there is just zero clearance at all. thanks guys..

you can use wheel spacers if you have room to push the wheel out some
or rerout the exhaust.....probably didnt wanna here that thoo
