10.5" rims w/GSD3 315's

[Steeda1]

Hey guys...I'm about to do a rear axle swap with a Mach and was wordering about somthing. In our cars you can run a 10.5" rear wheel w/315 Goodyear GSD3's. The only problem is that you have to shave the IRS bolt and use a wheel spacer. What, if anything, do you have to do to a Mach in order to run this setup?

Thanks for the info...

Well Intimidator runs 10.5 with 305's on his GT with no problem. Don't know anyone with 315's but I'm sure someone does over at Mach1Registry. The only other thing would be the right side Borla pipe in the way but your config is a little different. You might not have any problems.:shrug:

 

[ZincDude]

Oh ok he is running 315's so you will have no problems.:beer:

 

[Steeda1]

Nice...
thats what i wanted to hear...
Thanks Zinc:beer:

No problem just check out Intimidators profile and click on his link if you want to see some pics for the heck of it.:shrug:

I recently took some pictures of my exhaust clearance.

I am running Nitto 315/35/17's on deep-dish 17x10.5 wheels with a 27mm (I think) offset. And I am not using any spacers, nor have I had to make any kind of modifications for clearance.

Here are the pictures:

There ya go.:beer: Yeah it's 27mm 10.5" rear and 24mm 9" front.
Check this out. How funny I recognize three of the cars.:-D

You can run up to a 335, but Ive heard that the gs-d3's are the same width as a micheline pilot sport 335:shrug: It will fit though, nittos are much narrower.

Yeah good point. Different brands with the same profile are not the same.:beer:

315's are very different in size. nittos are prolly the smallest ones out there.

sumitumos are tiny too. Goodyear GS-D3s are huge.

here's a comparisson shot between GS-D3s and Sumitumo's, both 315s

I don't see anything.:shrug:

newp, they really are both 315s...

sizes vary a LOT between brands. BFGs are another brand that are huge. i had BFG 275s on my turd and on the stock 8" rim it looked like i was riding on baloons. i put kumhos on it and they looked ok... lil' bulge but ok. 275 nittos are even a bit smaller than that... i've been through too many sets of tires... i need to slow down 8(

will do Soon(tm). those aren't mine, they were posted a while ago on Fordpower.net; there are pics of a cobra w/ the GS-D3s, but they were mounted on 11" wide AR Torq Thrust IIs...

here's the thread:
