Default 2000 GT - 315's up front?

How difficult is it to put 315/35/17's on the front end of a 2000 GT. Im sure a new K-member and A-arms and other equipment. I have recently been looking into griggs racing kits because i would like to get into autocross but am wondering if anyone has any experience with this on the forums.

Man I dont know, I would think you can put them on, but then you cant really turn without rubbing something. Im sure if you had the right set up it would work.

Devon is correct (< don't know what that icon is, but is new and I think it is cute!)

I can actually run a 315/30/18" up front on my ride if I wanted to do a bit more fender work.

You are correct that Griggs can install an SLA suspension up front, as I have, and will accomodate such a tire with some mods. Will need a "K" heavy duty "A" arms, new tube anti-roll with CO's. I currently run a 295/30/18" on 10" wheel and have my steering rack limited by one notch. I think I can forgo the limiter, just have to take it out an see if it still clears. I have had my fenders cut and rolled (no visible difference from stock on the outside, just what curls underneath)

I AX my ride and sticks like glue if I don't over-drive the corners

Jazzer loves the new icons
