Title: 15" tire clearance question
Post by: shuffln on October 07, 2015, 10:35:41 AM

So i just added a set of 15" centerlines with b.f. Goodrich t/a's. 235/60/15 on them. Im a little concern on how close they are to the rear 1/4 panel

I know the ture doesnt sit in the middle of the wheel well but how much room should there be

225
You're fine.  Hell, one configuration of my car is running 235/60s in the back and 225/50s in the front.  If anything, you're cutting it close on the back side of the tire.  Probably not a lot of room between the sidewall and the leaf spring, right?
