This has to be the MAX tire size for stock springs/wheel well etc. Not sure if it will rub, but the outer wheel JUST BARELY clears the tire side wall. I have atleast 1/4 to 3/8 clearence to the leaf spring. Im just worried about the outer wheel lip hitting the outersidewall. i might need to trim/roll the lip. Heres some pics. They really don't do justice. Not sure when i will be able to get the car out for better pics with the snow coming now.... 5828204-IMG_1401.JPG (107 downloads)

In my sig, i run 27 11.5 15 hooiser qtps on 8 in rims with 4.5 bs. They fit great no rubbing . Thats a big tire for stock everything! I had 275/60/15s on my rr , and it just looked dinky. I think the rr just needs that big tire to give it a good look. See what happens the next nice day if they rub.

I think you'd be alright with the leaf clearance, I'd still rather have at least 1/2". 3/8" clearance seems to be common on Dusters like mine with 275/60/15 with 4.5" BS, never had a contact issue so I think you are fine too. You'll need to work the outer lip though it looks like. Ride eternal, shiny and chrome

I put a set of goodmark skins on the car a few years ago so the lip might be larger then stock. Got my Hemi scoop also. Its a bolt on. I was sick of the cheap fiberglass 6 pack hood i had, so im bolting this to a steel flat hood, then spray the whole deal organisol. 5829191-IMG_1409.JPG (50 downloads)

Now i have plently of room and enough wheel lip to even put a wheel well moulding on if you wanted to. I think these cars are much different as far as specs, even if its the same car and year.

Can't say how old they are - this isn't my car. I saw this car last summer and liked the fit si I snapped a couple shots rather than take notes. I just looked on Hoosier's website and they don't show any bias-plys. Last edited by Stanton; 02/25/10 10:28 AM.
