I had no problems as far as fitment wise, the only thing I suggest if to watch for the jouncer bushing tab, and the inner fender lip may rub if you hit a bump hard enough. and if you lowered your car, I suggest an adjustable pan hard bar.

I cut off the bump stop mount and a little of the inner fender and then hammer some spots in.

Absolutely nothing with mine. But my offset might be a little different. Best bet put on one wheel and drop it down and check

There are 2 different offsets for the 17x11 wheels. The fbody needs the (50 mm offset which is considered the Grand Sport wheels). You will most likely need to trim the bumpstops or risk them potentially damaging the inside of the wheel on serious bumps. You might need to hammer the inner fender but that really depends on how well your rear is centered.

315's since they are sumitomo's....you wont have to mod much... def cut the bumpstop and message the fender wells.

you guys ever hear of rolling the fenders? F'n hammers...... wtf?

sweetbmxrider 06-05-2011 03:09 PM

Yeah, you roll the lip of the quarter panel. I'm referring to the inside where you would cut out if you mini-tub.

Rolling the fenders won't help when the tire is hitting the inner wheel well. :o The Sumitomo's don't measure out to a true 315 like most of the other brands so that helps clearance as well.

the problem comes when you jack the rear of the car up from the body. The wheel will hit something. I just jacked my car from the pumpkin: problem solved.

Do it.

sweetbmxrider 06-06-2011 08:53 PM

I drive my car on the street and sometimes I hit big unavoidable bumps. I also do work sometimes that requires the rear to be fully extended from the body.

So you dont run bump stops anymore after you cut the mounts?

sweetbmxrider 06-12-2011 11:13 AM

You can relocate them or run a stiff rear shock. Right now I don't have any.

qwikz28 06-12-2011 01:28 PM

It's not so bad unless if you have a bigger rear. The smart thing to do would be to test fit by putting the car on jackstands, removing the rear shocks, and slowly jacking up from the pumpkin to see what would hit first and where.

But then again, you don't have to remove the bump stops anyway. :)

My inner rims/tires aren't trashed :)
