nope. I have them and so do a buh-jillion people on this forum.
Some of the A/M replica wheel manufactures say that they will not fit b/c of the IRS bolt head and the you will need wheel spacers, but that is BS.
They fit and hook.

thats not all BS... how do you suppose its all bs???
well when I went to install my wheels after researching the "needed wheel spacers" argument, there was plenty of clearance between the irs bolt and the wheels. I also found that others on this forum bought the wheel spacers and found out that they did not need them and ended up reselling...
The bolt issue all depends on the tire you are going to be running, I have the 315 mickey thompson and they are not going to clear without spacers and grinding the irs bolt.
Agreed. It depends on each individual car and the tire you're going to run.
IMHO, if you go to a 10.5 rear, why run a 275 BFG or 315 Nitto? Put some MEAT OUT BACK! (315 MT, 315/335 Hoosier, 315 BFG, etc...)

315 BFG
315 M/T
i will need spacers?
which ones wont require a spacer????

Yeah I should have said something about tire sizes earlier, but in my situation I let them know that I was planning on running 315 35 17s, their response was that they would not fit but after research on this site and talking to my mechanic it worked out fine.
what bout DR? which ones dont require spacers?
im going with afs 10.5's with nitto 315's out back with the maximum motorsport smaller irs bolts. thats all you need. no spacers

i would do nittos but i want more bite... so for hoosiers and m/ts no spacer is required?
A Nitto 315 runs about the same width as as the 275 BFG/MT/Hoosiers. Nitto's just run small.
315 or larger Hoosiers/MT/BFG WILL require spacers in MOST instances....

funny thing is with nitto 315's on my stock rims they flush out tot he fender already
I have Nitto 315's on my 10.5's and no spacer. If I had to do it again I would do M/T or BFG 315 for a wider tire. Nitto's are nice and they grip pretty good just not wide enough for my taste.
Also depends of if the rim is Deep dish or not. I tried putting on my deep dish bullitts, 17X10.5 and the lower tie rod hit the inside of the rim, not the IRS bolt.

i am running 316 BFG's and needed a 1/4 inch spacer with a rounded bolt for the IRS. gave me about 3/16 of space to 1/8 inch.
