the car being dirty doesnt bother me, its just the car is sitting with the front end on jack stands with no motor or front end so getting a sitting stance pic will be pointless if its not gonna be sitting as it would be with tires in the front.. =/

Those look good, as for rubbing your good im sure. I have 295/45r18's on the rear with the heater hose mod to lower it a tiny bit and I don't rub at all. Now the inner fender took a decent beating but im on c5 z06's so my offset may be different so you could probably be good all around. What Profile you gunna run on your 305's?

i was thinking 305/35/18's but I might just settle for 295/35's for now since I just really needa get my car running again. there is plenty of space on the inner fender side, outside is close but im sure it wont rub

If need be, just roll your fenders. You could rub with 305's though.

Looks good. Dont stick out much at all. But i do see rubbing issues though if dropped low. But otherwise looking forward to seeing it all back together and side shots. Gonna look good.

yeah i think they look pretty good where there at, there pretty flush with the car its self and love how it looks. yeah im sure it'll rub if i dropped it alot but i dont plan to, just a lil bit should be perfect. couldnt get a side shot cause there were so many things in the way

im not sure on the exact drop it has.. =/ it is lowered, a bit though. and looked like it had plenty of space to work with, im sure a 1.2-1.5 drop would be ok

the only thing that concerns me is that it looks like it sticks out so far that even if the fenders were rolled straight up it looks like they would still rub.

you have to see it in person, it doesnt look like itll rub even if lowered, id say the only way is if it were to do some sore of crazy drop
