SignUp Now!BigChinooks, how close is the tire to the inner fender well lip? When you launch the car will it rub out there? Is the tire closer to the frame than the fender lip or is the gap about the same? Thanks.Originally posted by BigChinooks
Speak of the devil,thats what i was up to tonight!
With a 15x10 rim/4.5 back space and M/T 28x10.5 slick i was rubbing a bit on the inside,mostly when turning the car.
You do not need to mini tub!
If you plan on running a smaller tire then i am, i would'nt worry about notching at all.

JoeNational, you have the wrong backspacing for a 15x8. You should have 3.5" of backspace, not 4.5". The rim is 1" closer to the frame than it should be. Thats why it rubs.Originally posted by JoeNational

I used 3/16" steel to replace what I cut out. It was much stronger (and heavier ) than the soft stock frame material.
