Just put them on!!! You have a stick car, and your cam doesn't make enough low end tourqe to be able to squat the car enough with those springs to make them touch. BTW, a minor roll (which I will have a thread about soon) is all you might need. Oh, and BFG tires are wider than the Nittos.

They might rub, they might not.

Nittos will fit.

They might rub, they might not.

Nittos will fit.

im guessing they wont rub on 9 inch wide stock 17s with 5/16 pedders springs out back. (but i may go KDW2 for the cornering)

first i need to gain about 150 rwhp

an 8inch rim shouldn't mount a 275/40 size tire on it...it balloons over the side of the rim and that hits the fenders on the stock 17s. BFG runs big so there's the problem. A BFG 275 and a Nitto 275 are 2 very different sized tires.
