Default 18x13 and 345/30/18's :)

What needs to be done to fit 18x13's on the rear of an fbody with 345/30/18's?

The car is already fender-rolled to accept around a 33" tall slick, and I 'think' 12 inch wide slick.

New wider rear quarter panels, or a mini tub

Unless you want them to stick out past the fender I do not think you will get them on. I just did an 18x11.5" with a 335/30ZR18 and it was an EXTREMELY tight fit even after hammering the $h!t out of the inner fenderwells.
If you only go with a 18x12 you might be able to get the on but think you would still have rubbing issues in turns.
I still have a slight rub when I have a passenger in the car and get on it making a right hand turn. I keep hammerng the spot but I cant get it it in any more.
Now if you want to get out the plasma cutter and welder I think it can be done and I am actually considering this so I can run a 20x12-12.5 with a 345/25ZR20
Might make an interesting winter project
