I have been doing alot of reading on past threads on here about 315/35/17 555R drag radials on stock 03 cobra wheels having IRS bolt clearance issues. I have heard some say they had no issues with clearance, others say they did and required spacers. I test fitted my 315's on my cobra this afternoon with the car off the ground on the lift. When i set them on the hub they pressed flush against the bolt head. I have been reading that once the car is on the ground with weight on the tires that it gains clearance.
I now sit debating. I havent put the car on the ground with the wheels on to check clearance yet. I dont know how im gunna get up in there to look at the clearance with the car on the ground, its a tight squeeze for me to crawl under there. If i get the 3/8" spacers to be safe im wonder now about my tire rubbing on the other side against the fender.
So im not sure what to do. Let it go and risk having enough clearance? (which i really really dont want to do) or buy the spacers and risk fender clearance? :shrug:
Anyone on here used the exact setup as me on a car with stock suspension and had the tires flush against the bolt while in the air? If so, what did you do or go with in the end? Any help, advise, or insite would be greatly appreciated at this point!
