And dont forget to recoat it with undercoating after your done. Drive it for a few miles, take off your tires, and see where its rubbing, and keep banging it till your tires stop taking the undercoating off. Aslo you might have to bend your fender up top, I had a problem with ym car doing that, without anyone or anything in the back, so I rolled it up, and its never rubbed again. also if your having rubbing problems, you need an adjustable Panhard bar to center your rear.

I think you misunderstood me. I have NO problems with rubbing. The only place that I grinded down was inside the wheel. There is lip that the tire need to get over to reach its seat. This lip has a square edge making it difficult for the tire to get over it. So all I did was round that square edge. It's not like a took half the weight off the rim from grinding. Consider this more smoothing rather than grinding. In no way have I made the bead or the tire weak, because I have touched neither.

Completely true lol. however i'm not the first person to put a 315 on a smaller size wheel, and not all 315's are actually 315's. This tire is more realistically around a 295.
