Default Putting 335/30/18s on rear need bumpstop spacer ?

Im putting on a 335/30/18 BFG tire on the rears of my Camaro , moving up from a 305/35/18 tire . I already have done the BFH mod and rolled the fender lips . The wheels are 18x10.5" with 56mm backspacing . I am going to run a 1/4" spacer on the rears as well . My question is should I run a bump stop spacer ? I havent had any issues with the 305/35 tire . Any input on future issues will be great ! Thanks in advance !


Oh btw the car is lowered on Eibach Sportlines and has an adjustable
panhard bar .

I have the same setup. I only rub on the sides, I haven't done the BFH mod.

I didn't have to do any bumpstop modification on either one of my cars with the 335's. You should be perfectly fine.

Just wondering. I want to run a 18x10.5 but I tried a GM Z06 18x10.5 and the wheel was hitting the bumpstop mount.

I actually had to do more modification to get the same wheels and tires on my T/A, than I did on my Camaro. The Camaro had non-adj. LCA's and non-adj. PHB, and all I had to do was hammer the inner fenders, and the wheels and tires fit perfectly. No spacer or anything. The T/A has hammered inner fenders, rolled outter fender, and 5/16" spacers on the rear. Hopefully, I'll be able to get rid of the spacers when I put my LCA's and PHB on soon.
