Default all 235/60/15 BFG users I have a question

I want to run the tires in power street because the ITR tranny will be way out of gear in 4th on the 225/50's. did you guys have to run spacers or anything to get the tires to not rub on anything while turning. it is not my daily driver but since I have no truck or trailor for the season I will be driving to events and will have to go on the BFG's if I can't borrow a friends wheels(he might be using them).

I know EG/EK's can fit them with suspension all the way up.

What size are your wheels?
My setup consists of 15x7 +43 wheels, no spacers. This barely doesn't hit the suspension, and I had to raise the ride height quite a bit to keep the tires from rubbing the fender liners.

We raise the height of the car to fit the 235/60R15

We went out to the BOTI this past weekend in Orlando and the best trap speed so far for us is 131mph, but the track was poorly prep for the race.

I figured I would need to pound in that body seam. it looks like from your pics you could leave the fender liners in though. How much did you have to bring it up(ball park)? also what offset wheels did you have them on and did they rub when street driving in turns and what not?

We raised the front and rear of the car, banged in the seams inside the fender well and rounded the edges of the fenders .
