I read one person is running these with stock suspension no bags, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else is running them and if you have or have not had any rubbing, thanks.
 
I just bolted on a set about 2 weeks ago. No rubbing whatsoever. I'm running the reproduction Grand National wheels, 15x8 with 4 inch backspacing.
 
nittos have been known to run a bit narrower than other brands so you should be good
 
I have a set on 8in wide with 3 3/4 back space,
all stock susp, no bags, fit fine, but, I'll be dropping the car 2in
and they might? contact outer fender well, so will roll the lip.

Thanks for the feedback. I have stock rims not 8" which is why i was a little nervous.

i have em on 8 inchers with 4.5 and appears to be enough room at the frame rail but have not driven the car. I have air bags..very close on the fender side...guess i'll find out when I go out to beat on it.
 
I've got em on a set of stock Monte SS (7" wide) wheels and my car is dropped 2" with the DSE shocks and springs. They don't rub at all with street driving for me. You should be good to go!
 
Those are 275 60's on the avatar pic. I now have 295 55 15's with rolled lips and no problem. 15x10 Welds 4.5 bs,

Its when you bend in or Roll in the outer lip of the rear fenders keeping them from digging into the tires if they happen to make contact..
