my dad's 6TT is pretty damn low and running GT2 wheels/tires without issue, rear inner fender liner may need to be 'massaged' but otherwise GT2 wheels/tires fit without issue, has been proven many a time

Will the 315 rub?
It's all about the proper set up including wheel width, offsets, and the proper supporting parts. When done correctly there is enough room for 315 and a homeless family of 4 to live under that fender....

Stick size on stock size rims looks pretty good. I would not put the 315s on my stock size rims as they would look pinched, at least not the PS2s

I bought probably one of the last sets of these before the discontinue. Very legit tire so far. 8 AutoX days on them and a two day track event at Mid Ohio. I would absolutely buy another set. Coming from Michelin PS2s, and they are just a better tire (maybe wear a little quicker). AD052 is the replacement, and thats where I am going next when I cord these.
