I have 315/35/17 GS-D3's. No problem with the dealer because he sold them to me.
So am I to understand that if you run 315's on the back you have to shave the IRS bolts and put spacers on? Or one or the other or neither...Just got my 04..and wheels and tires are a soon to be done change..soon as I wear out the current tires!

The Nitto 315 will fit on the stock rim w/o any problem. The GSD3 or BFG 315 will require spacers and in some cases shaving the irs bolt. I am runnin a 315GSD3 out back with MM 1/4 spacer and a shaved IRS bolt.
I've got a pair of Nitto 315 DR's out back and love them! No problems here.
I would be getting the GSD3. Also, did you buy longer studs with the 1/4 spacers or just stick with stock? How did you shave your IRS bolt? Can it be done while it's on the car with a file?
315, 18's
BFG/KDs
See sig. No problems with IRS bolt at all. I did shave the bolt head but didn't need to use spacers, thank god.
No rubbing at all even on really nasty roads & we have a bunch of them in VA.

355s On 03 Cobr Vert? HOW???
:??: Can anyone help me with this question.
I want to put 335s on my car but didn't think they would fit.
I'm running 315s now with just enough room so I get no rub but 335s?
Will I need to go with 18" rims?
Thanks for any help & pics would be a great help or a link.

315/35/17's BFG Drag radials on my stock 17x9" wheels no issues here!!!
295/35/18, kumho ecsta mx
let me get this straight ive got 18x9's in front with 265's and 18x10's in back with 285's, if was to get 315's i need a spacer ect. ect.? 285's in back, WAY to small!
From what I know, when wanting to improve cornering grip, its best not to go with the biggest that will fit on the wheel, but rather something near the middle of the range. For a 10.5 that would be 285/40.
Anyone experianced with both 315s and 285s care to comment on the handling differences?

im not a fan of tires sticking out past the fenderwell at all
i think this is a big reason why im hesitant to start messing with tire sizes and wheel sizes in the back.
case in point: yesterday i saw this redfire cobra parked on the street with stock wheels with the nitto 315's and they just stick out too much for my liking.
plus you have fitment issues, bolt issues, all that crap, sometimes its easier just to leave it alone, but who knows im full of crap if i swap tires/wheels in the back..
why do people hate spacers so much? what so bad about them?
you think I can just goto a shop with tires and rims and say "do w/e it takes to get them on safely"? and they'll come through

no, i would do your 'homework' as best as possible on this board and maybe another one or two, and then take it from there. boards like these are much much more knowledgable (for the most part) than going to some shop and asking them to throw rims/tires on your car.
search feature is your friend
good luck
