my 295s on the back rub when turning im guessing its from weight transfer cause wheel to lean or something?... either way i may end up getting spacers for mine, i dont have fronts yet so no advice for you there. good luck

<~~~ 18x10.5" C6s w/ 58mm offset, 5/16" spacer, and 295-35-18, almost no rubbing. Only on extremely hard turns. 285 will be fine.

if you run a 285, no. I have 295s. I could proabably do a very little BFH, but I just dont feel like it. Its only rubbed twice in 5 months.

Thanks. And I feel like a shmuck for not saying this before, but I am running a 5/16" spacer in the rear. however, I'm pretty sure McG isnt running spacers.

I rememeber talking to McG about his, because he got the same exact wheel/tire combo as me. I'm pretty sure I rememebr him saying he didnt have any real big problems with rubbing. If youre not lowered, i think youll be ok . I wish I could say more. I never even had my wheels with the tires mounted on them, on the car without the spacer so I dont even no how much room there is. Hopefully McG will chime in.

let's see some pics.

i put on 5/16" spacers in the rears, but it still rubs every once in awhile on hard right turns. but it's not enough to make me actually fix it

yea same here. I think an adj. panhard rod would help though. I will be buying one soon.
