Anyone running these?

Any former issues?


I just ordered a set and now I'm hearing that there is rubbing issues going down the track...

I am running the 29.5 X 10.5 Ws. You do have to clearance some items---depends on the wheel you are running. The inside corner of the passenger side will be the closest. Do you have adjustable LCAs?

My LCA are not adjustable.

Is it possible to remove the inner fender or do I have to start hacking away at stuff?

I'm running race star wheels

Sounds like a bad combo, How modded is your car and what gears are you running.

10 inch. 5.5 BS

I haven't mounted these yet

Ok, I don't know if you have a narrowed rearend, or something else going on, but a 10 inch wheel with only 5.5 backspacing would stick way out on a S197 with a stock length rearend. Most Bogarts that are 10 wide for our cars are between 7.0-7.5 backspacing, as you only have about 3 inches of room from the mounting flange of the axle to the fenderwell.

Have you already been running those wheels?--or are they new as well?

Well it is a 10 inch maybe I'm confused with backpacking...

It's designed for our cars though with out any fitment issues besides the sway at relocation

Well talked to a buddy running a Goodyear 29x11 r15 D5 with no rubbing issue at all..

This Tire height will do the trick so I ordered it, now I'm off to return the MT's....

Yes, I ran the Goodyear's before the M/Ts---size was 29X11.0 and I had absolutely no issues also.
