I just installed a set of 315 on stock rim and the car seem like there is something rubbing. I looked and I cant see anything close that may be rubbing while driving. Any of you guys have pics of the shaved IRS bolt?? Thanks....

what do you think of the mm irs bolts.
I'm sure they work OK, but....

My personal preference is still to modify the existing bolt heads. For reasons pointed out in other posts, I suspect these aftermarket bolts don't have the same strength characteristics of the OEM bolts.

By the way, the aftermarket bolts have the same head thickness as an OEM bolt that's been machined down .25".
