I am about to come home from Afghanistan, in a few weeks. I bought a set of Nitto NTO5-Rs (305/45/18 on stock rims) for my 02 z06, so I can drive when i go on block leave. My grandfather got the tires mounted the other day and he said that the wheels hit the front of the wheel well, on the air ducts for the brakes. What can I do to fix this? Can I move the diff back to give the tire room?



Thanks
