May need to get the round head bolts for the IRS or shave them down. Where exactly are the hitting?

Keep in mind that when your car is on the lift just because they rub may not mean they wont fit. Put the car on the ground then see if you have any clearance issues...once the weight of the car is on the tires the top of the tire is farther away from the bolt.

I'm running the same combo(Saleens w/ BDG DRs). I use a 5/16 spacer and button head bolts. Rolled my fenders alittle too.

I did this after your help and it did not rub. But if I raised the car up a little it still rubbed so I added a spacer and that helped .

Thank You!!!
