I dont, but i know alot of people run 315's w/o any problems. Occasionally the fender lip wil need to be rolled in, or the bumpstop removed but nothing serious.

I am running 17x11 TT2's with Nitto Extreme Drag 315's, I did have to roll the lip of my fender but other than that no problems at all and that is with 1 inch BMR lowering springs out back along with my amp and subs, haven't tried it with the roll-cage installed but I doubt I will have any problems.

Big Freaking Hammer, just use a hammer to beat in the inner wheel well some to get clearance but with the right backspacing you won't need to do this for 315s.

I think it is 52mm but I really can't remember, I have been meaning to measure it but I haven't had the wheels off for some time now.

I have 315s and 10.5" rims and I'm lowered. Since the bump stop sits inside of the rim, I don't need to worry about rubbing. I did the BFH mod too, worked like a charm.
