Ive seen a lot of F bodies with 315s and they look awesome. But there is something definetly not right about yours. They seem to stick out way to much.

Yeah, I have to agree, I mean I like the fatties but the backspacing seems to be a lil off. But hey, if you like 'em, they're GREAT! Everyone's got an opinion, if you like 'em that's the only opinion that matters right? All in all tho, thumbs up to 315's on an f-body. When I actually get the money and some other projects done, that's my next step is to get some nice tires, and I'm definitely gettin 315s in the back!

I like them but an improvement would be to flare out the rear quarters.

The backspacing is way off on those. Are those the 50mm or 56mm backspacing?

I went with the 36.5mm backspacing and my 315s are TUCKED up under the rear. I didn't even have to use the BFH mod. They fit perfectly. I will try and get some pics up tommorow.

Wait, I take that back. NOw that I got a better look at your picture, they look right. You see up until the first water tread line on my 315s.
My bad, 6:00a.m. in the morning and going on 10 hours at work can do that kindd of stuff to you.

I don't see anything wrong with the backspacing. They don't stick out any further than the others. You can't really tell how far they stick out unless you get a view from the top.

I think it looks fine. just different angles of pictures. Also his WS6 sits a bit higher so the wheels may appear to stick out more
