Ditto that, I have 18" on mine and they look great and fit perfect. In fact I can still lower the car if I wanted to. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

I have a Pro-kit also.....18x10.5/295/35/18 with no problems......I have also run a 17x10 rear with 315/35/17 with no problems either......

I saw a camaro with 17x12 335/30/17 once, but the guy said it was ALOT of work to fit them......just FWIW
