they fit on my car, quads removed, beat inners and rolled lip a little. does not rub at all. i have a 15x10 with 6.5 bs. It sits pretty low, I don't think it is low enough! They fit... jack it up and paint the inner well. drive car for a short trip to see where it rubs, "correct" the problem spots! i have the Wolfe kit under my car ...just fyi.

If you have the factory suspension on it still, they are going to rub no matter how much you beat on it. The factory suspension moves around a lot, side to side, over a bump, taking a tight curve. Put some good suspension, like upr upper and lowers with the poly bushings and it keeps the suspension tight. My Son's car was doing this until we put the rear suspension from UPR, no more issues.

Those factory boxed uppers got to go, that is what keeps the rear end steady, them bushings are to soft. Replace them with poly ones if on a budget and put the solid bushings on the top of rear end. Are the megabites jr's on the first set of holes or second set, meaning bottom holes will lower the car top holes will keep it at the stock height. When I had these before I had them on the stock height holes. Here is a picture before my car was mini tub with a set of M/T drag radials 275/60 15 on a 9" rim. I drove it on the street and never rub anywhere, meaning after I use the BFH!!

Here is apicture of a set of Mega bite J.R.'s. If they have been mounted right, the bracket that goes in the lower control brackes of the rear end have four holes, look at the bottom left of the pictures, that mounts to the rear end and then the control arms will be installed either the bottom holes or top holes, look for that or take a picture of your set up and post it here.

Solid bushings are not going to cure any vibration. Soft rubber bushings will hide vibrations (that's the reason they are used), but solid bushings will transmit them all directly to the car.
