thanks...yes black ops has them

 

I have 275/40/22 Nittos wrapped around Factory Reproductions Vipers. If you think the rubbing is from the outside edge of the tire hitting the plastic trim that goes around the fender lip, then I *might* be OK.

I wish they were a little stiffer rate than stock though. Hmmmm, I thought this was something that was mentioned by Black Ops (slightly stiffer, less body roll).

 

thats exactly what it is.
once aware of it, I have been able to avoid rub pretty much altogether by slowing down more on the worst and well known road dips..
Only once or twice in last 5 days (once doing 75+mph and once on a surprise
dramatic dip) have I had noticeable rub

if you typically drive the speed limit, frequent the same roads often, and/or live in a newly paved or well preserved city you should be fine. Otherwise, may need to do a gut check before going forward...

 

Love the look----sinister.

 

Just a thought...what about installing "bump stops" to limit the amount of travel so that you are bottoming out on something designed for this purpose, versus having your tire hit your fender?

 

Frank, you going to order these up?

 

I am strongly considering it. SS2RT - do you have 22x9's or 22x10's?

I am running 22x9's with 275 rubber. Plus I may add a bump stop...LOL

 

Would really like feedback on the 275's. Might switch tires if they workout without any issues. I don't think 275's will be a problem, but I did think 285 was going to be an issue.

 

275 in front 285 rear would be perfect
who wants to trade a pair of nitto 275 for 285

 

That's a good idea. Not such a huge deal buying 2 and saving the others for when needed in rear.
