I ran into the same problem in the rear with my car. DSE Instruction are very vaque and leave you quessing at most steps.
It's not to late to go back and remove another inch so you can fit the tires you actually want on the car.

I've decided on Formula 43 wheels and 275/335 18's based on feedback from a few people. I may play around with the possibility of a 295 but probably not. Luckily Travis at Formula 43 is VSRY patient.
The fronts I'm thinking a 10" rim with 6.75 BS. I could push it out a bit more but I'm debating because I really don't want any front rubbing when the suspension compresses. I'm going to check it again to see if 6.5" will be ok.

The backs i'm debating 12-12.5 rim. Overall the rear is a very tight fit even with the tubs. I think I screwed up and should have stretched the tubs more when I installed them. Another 1/4" would have made things much easier. As of now with a 12.5" setup mocked in place I only have ~3/8 clearance inside and out when the suspension is fully compressed. I think it's going to rub. Most likely I'm going to try to cut the floors and stretch the tubs this weekend.

I'm measuring everything at full compression for worst case but I don't really know if I'm over compressing the suspension. I assume 2" compression would be accurate, is this correct? |
