Anyone with experience mounting M/T ET Street R tires (315-45R17) on 2017 S550 rear? Concerned about fender clearance with my Steeda drag springs. Also, any suspension setting recommendations?

If you meant 305 ET Street R's, I have them on drag pack F14's and don't have any fitment issues. I'm also on stock suspension though so I'm sure that makes a difference.

Looks like tire rub to me, drag springs tend to be stiffer, may get a way with it. The 34 shows the side wall crown of the tire. Clearance becomes a bigger problem the more the body comes down.

Not sure but the tire on the Mustang, looks

like the very top of the tire has no place to go.

I agree and have replaced them with 305's.
