Raise your car or chop it up (bumper and skirt).

Is it hitting when you turn? Or is it hitting just sitting there?

If you need some clearance when turning, might look into a wheel with more offset, or even a spacer? Otherwise, new tires!

There were no clearance issues with my 235/60/15 MH radials.

But, I had clearance issues with my 26x8.5x15 Slicks. I cut 1" off the front bumper and moved my wheel forward via my traction bars 1/2".

it breaks them loose in 3rd running 20 psi on my t67. this is good considering what it would do with regular old street tires.

they like heat... get them hot... and they will hook.

I used these last year on my CRX at a major UK drag event
moved the bumper forward on the irons by packing out with washers, was enough to clear the wheel and not cut the bumper.
Used gaffer tape to seal the gaps, after the event put it all back to stock and no cutting involved.

Hi BoostedJeff: Now this is a good thing. I tryed to give you good info. SORRY they don't fit. Like I said before, a racer put them on his car and he had to modify to make them work.

Good Luck BoostedJeff and be SAFE.

well, when i bought the car, i didnt know that it had a semi bent front lower control arm. when i got my traction bars, i used the drivers side radius rod to pull the wheel forward to factory spec. it was about .75inches back too far. now everything fits like a charm. I just run a 1/4 inch spacer to keep the tire away from the upper ball joint.
