New tires

**ModularMike** · 08-15-2009, 05:11 PM

Anyone have an idea on what I need to do to fit 315/30r18s on my 18x10 Saleen wheel on my car? Right now it has 285/30r18 Hoosier A6's and they fit well but I think at certain times it looks like they slightly brush my Flowmaster 2.5" tail pipes. I was wondering would a 1/4" wheel spacer work or would I need to roll the fenders?

If anyone with an SN95 has 315s and got them to fit let me know what ya had to do!

i just bolted mine right up, but they were 17s with 35 series tire... But your best bet would be to get the spacers and roll your fenders and maybe flip your quad shock

take off your quad shock and they will fit no problem

315 30 18 nittos nt01's

I'm looking on the car and it looks like its going to hit my tailpipes before it hits my quad shock. How wide of a spacer could I run before I needed to roll the fenders or would I have to roll the fenders with any spacer? Thanks for the help guys. Found a good deal on 315s but its a closeout so I appreciate the quick responses.

you can roll the fenders if you want to be safe, i say with spacers your might depending on how big they are but alot of guys dont need to roll.. If your still sitting at 4x4 level with an sn95 you dont have to worry about rubbing

Drivers Side:

Passenger side

Still at 4x4 height and will probably stay that way for a long time. I don't want to space it too much and have the mexican offset going for me with the tire sticking way out but I don't want to run too little space and hit the quad shocks and tail pipes.

looks like ur real problem is you need side exhaust not spacers lol

**scott5** · 08-15-2009, 05:49 PM

add spacers and flip your quad shock

**ModularMike** · 08-15-2009, 05:50 PM

Right side exhaust doesn't rub but left side around bends it must rub because just sitting there it is like a half inch away or so but you can tell it looks like its rubbing a tiny bit on the tailpipe.

Now I know this isn't the item I want to cheap out on due to it being unsafe if it breaks but anyone ever use any ebay spacers like these?

thats what I did but I sold scott the spacers because even with the lips rolled they were way close. the only spacers i would ever trust are bolt ones like eibach makes.

looks like your quad shocks and rear shocks are leaking! time for some new ones. i wouldnt put lowering spring on the rear shocks. i have a set if you need them.

just ditch the quad shocks................

I don't plan on lowering I just want to get these 315s to fit. I think the tail pipes are just as close if not closer to the tire than the quad shocks.

What do the quad shocks help with anyway?

Do you have spacers for sale or did you mean springs?

not bad....where did you get them?

**PaxtonShelby** · 08-16-2009, 03:11 PM

What kind of deal did you find on 315's? Brand / specs / price / store? I'm pretty close to needing new 315's - the Sumitomos ( 315/35/ZR17 ) haven't held up too well...

whoops - just saw your post above - thanks!
