I replied to your PM, but yea if you are lowered you will probably need to massage the rear fender well and roll the rear fenders

if you are wanting 315's I would go with a 11" wide wheel, max I would go on a 10.5" wheel is a 305. I have 295's on a 10.5" wheel and it is pretty much perfect. but that also depends on the tire brand as well, some run a little bit bigger than advertised and some run smaller. this is what my 295 nitto nt05's look like on a 10.5" wheel

Great thread!
I had an autocross over the weekend and now I'm searching for more grip!
My tires are crap Sumitomo htr a/s p01 performance all seasons. Not my choice, they were on the car when I bought it.
I'm looking at getting C5 wheels that are wider to keep them light, and running square, (two rear sets @ 18)
Just posting so I can come back to this later and use this info again. Thanks!

How bout zr1 oe replicas 18x10.5 +56mm on Toyo proxies 295 35 18? I'm getting ready to possibly get these mounted this morning on stock springs and shocks with umi phb and lca's single adjustable. From what I read they should fit whiteout spacers but will be tight. Just curious what everyone thinks should I look into spacers or the BFH mod?

Well there on, the fronts are extremely close to the ball joints threats on the upper control arm only drove 4 miles but no rubbing when I got home. I ordered 5 mm hub centric spacers. From what I read some guys say a +50 offset is perfect for my setup. So do you think the stock studs with aluminum 5mm spacers up front and a +51 offset will be save for actually driving the car not poking around?
