Vipers & Vredestein 315's, will they fit?

[Venom187]

i'm just got my self a pair of Vredestein 315's and i'm starting to wonder if i'm going to have any space issues in the rear, the rims are 20X10.

They will fit

Yup. Maybe a slight chirp on the fender on a large bump during extream cornering. But they fit fine and feel great!! This is a rough picture. I will be posting a bunch more maybe this weekend. I just had a 1" drop with Pedders springs. Have to be paying attention to avoid a rub with the drop but still not very often.

i've dropped my car something around an 1.5" that was one of my major concerns, even if they fit they still might rub on a bumpy road.

thanks Hemi31, i do understand that spacers on the rear is always a bad idea, but what if i got them in aluminum or steel? what do you think

At a 1.5" drop I really do think you will have rub in bumpy conditions. Like I said I just recently came down about an inch and have noticed the need to be more carefull. At stock height rubs were very rare.

looks like i'm gonna have to raise it a bit and stiffen up the ride

just get your fenders rolled if you are worried about them rubbing

I hear this alot. Call me a newbie but what exactly is done in this process. And does anybody have pics of it being done or completed. I just do not understand what it means.

Thanks

Hey, friend. I'm not an alarmist but you should certainly consider rolling your fenders as Pete stated. I had rubbing issues with my 20x10 vipers and 295's combined with almost a 2" drop in ride height. After rolling the fenders it was okay. The front was worse at the fenders and the backs rubbed the fenders only slightly, as well as the inner wheelwell a tad. Good luck.

Here's a link with a detailed description. This is the 'correct' way to do it. I did mine with a piece of 2" PVC pipe and a lot of care.

Thanks John, i'm gonna get that tool for sure.
the wheel well remains though

i've seen modified wheel wells getting sold for corvettes in order to fit 13" wide rims
