I trimmed the bumpstops on my old 96 SS when I ran the 315's. People really need to use their brains a little more often, especially when it comes to modifying stuff on a vehicle. :-?

yeah really. i should have taken an after pic. its much better now. still needs an adjustable phb but the bump stops aren't sitting on the tires.

IDK why you people insist on running 315's...275's do just fine....

It's really pretty easy to trim the bumpstops and you can also elongate the mounting holes to slide it inward as well so there's no contact with the wheel or tire. Comparing the cost of the wheels/tires vs the cost of the bumpstop there's no reason not to trim it properly.
