I had my 315's cut through the silcone boost hoses.

the main reason was my suspension was shot.

with a stiff suspension there is not enough travel for that to happen.

I run 335's in the rear now and no problems.

Yup, you and me 2! I tried 305s and wore thru the fender liner and said "Enough!" If you're gonna do the wider tire combo you need the GT2 fender liners and you have to modify your brackets at the rear that help hold the liner in place.

no no... they use the factory connections. They have CNC machined fittings which go into your factory Y Pipe and intercoolers securely. We supply new o-rings too.
