OnyxCobra Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Ever since I switched to my 18x10 rear wheels I've had trouble with the right rear tire hitting the tailpipe. I'm only running 295 tires and I know a lot of people run wider wheels and 315/335 tires, how do you guys get it to fit? even when I get it to fit I have about 1/8" of clearance between the tire and the pipe, it's ridiculous. Just seeing if there's something I'm missing, I have a mile of space on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 It sounds kindof mongo, but I gave my tailpipe a good swing of the dead blow to dent it so they wouldn't rub with the 315's. Another thing I had to do, which I think helped, was narrowed the h-pipe at the crossover. I have a BBK one so it's a fixed h-pipe so I cut about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch out of the crossover and it pulled the whole catback inward. Completely stopped all the rattling and i believe helped with that tire rubbing. Exhaust is a pain in the ass. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times i've moved and re-fitted mine to keep it from rattling / rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshHooten Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah it can be tricky, I got my tips welded on with wide tires on. I have changed my h pipe a couple of times, and had to adjust my mufflers b/c the pipe was rubbing against the tire.Here is my clearance, as you can see its about a 2.25 in pipe into a 3in tip. I want to get some new tips but I am afraid i will have the same issue you are having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshHooten Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah you could hit it a lil to get more clearance. I have a 3/16 in [i think] spacer which helps , but its not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
