Rolled Rear Fenders ? Posted By: XTNCTTA On: 03-24-2008 @ 23:00:10 Reply | Edit I am scheduled to have some 315 tires put on the rear end of my care on Thursday." Trying to hook up better" I ordered the Nitto 555 tires. After I ordered the tires I was informed I need to roll the back fenders to accomidate the extra width. I went ahead and scheduled this for Thursday as well. The place doing the fenders is a reputable high performace shop. Does this sound normal? Has anyone had problems with this? Posted By: BlackScreaminMachine On: 03-25-2008 @ 07:35:51 Reply | Top | Edit Yea, even with proper back spacing and beating the hell out of the inner quarter some have to roll the fender so the lip doesnt slash the tire. -- 2002 Navy Blue Metallic Trans-Am, 6 Speed, Leather, T-tops.

Mine fit fine w/no mods... btw-I can smoke my 315's all I want with my stock ls1....fwiw --  Posted By: Fury_786 On: 03-27-2008 @ 21:45:44 Reply | Top | Edit my 315 nittos didnt fit, i had to roll mine. took about 15 minutes. couldnt hook the 555's either, they were really sucky tires. if you can, send them back and get some MT's --

   Posted By: XTNCTTA On: 03-30-2008 @ 20:45:15 Reply | Top | Edit Thanks for your help on the fenders! I had them rolled anyway but you were right, It wasnt required. I sent the car in on Friday to have some more work done. They are installing a new spec three clutch and plate and rebuilding the rear end. I am going with a 390 gear with the M6. I heard the 390 was stronger than the 410 gear. I am still running the stock rearend. Since it is a convertible I am adding bilstein shocks only and not screwing with the springs. Any help or advice with this I would welcome....

a spec3 is a good choice, but spending the cash on a rearend rebuild and gears might have been better saved for a 9" or a 12 bolt --

Posted By: XTNCTTA On: 03-30-2008 @ 23:24:53 Reply | Top | Edit They are not doing the gears until Weds, I can still just replace the whole rear end if it is the wise choice. I'm sure the replacement is only what 1000-2000 more? What rear end is a better choice for a Manual 6 speed? Posted By: fergymoto

Look into a Mosier 9 inch. Putting any money into the 10 bolt is somewhat of a waste. It will break down the road, especially with a 6 speed. You can have a complete bolt in axle ready to go for $2000-$2500. --
