Default Will a 315 fit on a 03GT

Im sure this question has been asked a thousand times, but i just wanted to make sure. I have heard that there is a bolt that might interfere with the tire. Does anyone have them on their car? And also, will it make a differance that the car is lowered 1.5" Thanx for your help.

now now now, a 315 may not necessarily fit with out any problems. They're has been people that have rubbed they're 315's, but these would be tires that are very wide 315's, unlike the Sumitomo's that are a little smaller 315. Most tire places suggest to roll the fender lip so you don't rub. What 315 tire were you thinking of gettin?

95% of the people who do it, dont have a problem. Sometimes people have a problem rubbing on the quad shock but thats useless anyways.

no. i ordered a bunch of stuff today and the cluster was somthing that i wanted. after doing a search on here ppl are saying that the 03-04 cars are a little different than the 99-02 cars. which is making their tach a little bit off.

Not entirely...removing the quad shocks will allow for some wheel hop if you drag race, and it will hurt your 60 foots...if you remove your quad's it is recommended that you add a good set of control arms..
