that's what I run.

If you're afraid of them rubbing the fender then just add some camber... or you could raise it up a bit, god forbid...

those sized tires are real expensive to begin with...as well as the brand and model...the coupon will do very little to help

It's pretty much flush with the fender. The pictures may be a bit misleading since I'm higher than you--as you lower further the LCAs/struts will tuck in further. I've never had any rubbing issues and I've almost bottomed out the struts I had on at the time, mashing the LTBII against the ground. No rubbing.

You will probably be okay. I haven't run into any rubbing problems, ever.

In the minute chance that you do have problems, you could always just be a man and run mad tyte camber, or raise it up a bit and give your axles a break.

I ordered my set on thursday...no confirmation e-mail saying it's been shipped....only an e-mail saying "Thank you for taking advantage of our low prices and special sale! The response has been beyond our wildest expectations! We promise to process and ship your order just as soon as possible, so be on the look-out for our confirmation email with your tracking numbers."

Hopefully they will ship soon....

BTW, $100 store rebate ends 10/27 which is Saturday, BUT some tires, like kumho, last day to place order is Friday. Better hurry because not even tirerack can match this nor can my local shady tireshop that cheat tax! They also come with limited warranty if mounted @ their store $12/ea free valve stem and lifetime balance+rotation AND free repair iirc.

I'm blown away with my SPT by the longivity. It's been almost a year, and close to 20k miles, I still have 5/32 left. This's the longest lasting performance tire I've ever used.

1 thing to note is that it doesn't like "high" psi. I gotta keep it close to 30psi. 35psi feels like there's no tread left.

I can't say I'm happy with America's Tires. The only thing I like is the free rotations and balance. However they messed up 1 of my wheels, static balanced 2x, failed to inspect my spare. I need to try another location, maybe it's just this one at Puente Hills Mall.
