    Deep dish wheels fit okay?

    Just ordered my deep dish 17" Bullitts for the rear of my 2000 GT. I'm putting some 315/35's on them. I'm worried they will rub when I get them on. Just want to know if they'll be okay. Also, when you get tires mounted & balanced should you also get your wheels aligned or is that not necessary?

    You should be fine. IIRC some folks get rubbing on the quad shocks now and then but no big deal. Typically you dont need an alignment with new rubber.

    Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.

    If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you weren’t a racist, you’d better vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.

    The Navy SEALS removed one Muslim threat to America ...
    It's up to the voters to remove the other!

    i have 315's no spacers, no problem with the quad shocks at all. i did roll the fenders as a precaution but i would have been fine with out it. as far as tail pipe issues it is a little tight on the passengerside. my index finger kinda gets stuck in the space from tire to pipe, but no rubbing.
    getting thereh&r ss springs, kyb shocks&struts, 17x9 and 17x10.5 03 cobras, bbk catted x with borla stingers, sct tune and 3.73's.
