Do you have any rubbing with the 315's, Vossen does make the perfect offset for massive MEATS

no rubbing at all in rear but the fender is rolled as much as possible. Vossens +42 rear and shaving an additional 3mm by my wheel shop made this setup possible, its dead close on almost all sides of the tire.

Just FYI to folks out there thinking of going with 315s...not all 315's will work, some tires fit narrower than others...

There also isn't a ton of 315 options out there as the 315 is not a very common size any more. The toyo was pretty much my only option in a 20. Most tires will be 305 or 325+ currently.

I wish I had thick meat, I am only working with a little 285. I need some cosmetic surgery for some big meat.

If I had a wider wheel I'd try a wider tire. Now just stockpiling go fast parts to backup the look.
