10.5/315's

[rangerboy101]

All of you guys with 10.5"/315's, post some pics of them! Also, post what you had to do to make them fit. Thanks in advance.

im runnung 17x10.5's on nitto 315 DR, running stock length fox axles, beat the inner fenders and rolled the outter fenders, 1/4 inch spacer.

How did you go about rolling the fenders?

How did you go about rolling the fenders?

I used a heat gun and hit it lightly with a hammer

Hmm-do 295s look too narrow on a 10.5? I might have to try this on my '84 with some bullitts

I think it would look perfect on a 10.5, nitto runs a little on the narrow side so a "true" 295 tire would probably be identicle to a nitto 315 DR.

...believe I might have to look into this one-you said just beat in the wells and hammer in the lips plus a spacer? No need to relocate any pieces? Would you recommend longer studs to accommodate spacers?

I removed the quad shocks awhile ago but I have hd upper and lower control arms as well as mm panhard bar. I would recommend longer studs if you will drag race it with slicks but 1/4 inch isn't that much, I ran it a few times with the nitto 315DR and spacers at the track with no issues.

Cool deal-thanks man!

 

[Dmarstroker]

For sure anytime

Dmarstroker, What size tires are you running up front?

 

[Dmarstroker]

im running 17x8 235/40 tires

 

[rangerboy101]

How bad do you think I'd be rubbing if I ran a 255/40/17 up front on a 17x9?

 

[Dmarstroker]

i used to run 255/40 with 17x9's up front when i had cobra r's and it only rubbed at full turn of the steering wheel.

I had to run rack limiters up front as my driver front would rub with 17x9's. I have 10.5 with 315s in the back. Took a lot of pounding and I rolled the fenders with a baseball bat. Probably not the most technical method but it worked. I managed to squeeze my tailpipes back in as well. For me its kind of bittersweet. The huge wheels/tires look great but they really arent practical and the work it took to get them under there was IMHO not worth it. If I had to do it again I would have gone with a 17x10 wheel and a 295 tire. That 1/2-3/4" goes a long way towards clearing body parts and frame.
