Those widths and offsets will fit without problems.

i'm not so sure about the rears - depending on a few things, those could hit on the inside

Bob is correct. I'm running those widths/offsets with Sport Classic IIs. If you run 285s or any negative camber, you will want to push them out a bit. FYI, I run 275's, 17mm spacers, -1.5 negative camber and have the exact look I was going for. Also, a bonus with the front width is you can clear the hub without spacers (unlike the 7.5" fronts).
Regards.

I am my running 18's on my stock car with no problems.
front tires are 225/40/18
rear tires are 285/30/18

I think if you go above a 30 on the rear it will rub.

it is not the profile, but the offset that is the key here - you can run a 35 series, or even a 40 (i've seen them both), if you have the offset correct, and don't have too much negative camber

ah - well then it's just dependent on the camber angle and brand of tire then, because we have seen 10s hit the inside on a 65 offset, even in lower profiles

Looking to use these or a track car so some camber will be part of the setup. That being said any track cars using this setup?
