thanks luckydawg, I plan on getting Nittos next time. I like the KDW's but they are a summer tire only. No traction below 40º.

You will be Ok, Choosing rims was my hardest choice of all. I ended up with 19 (295 x 35) out back, for daily driving and I use 18 inch with a 315 nitto dr for the track. My car is lowered and Havnt had any isssues with scrubbing at least from tires.(side exhaust pipes rubbing yes)
the bfg KDW tires are really a summer tire I spin them a lot in cool temps, They seem a lot harder then other tires...
Enjoy your new wheels they can really add to your love of the car.

You should be fine. For reference I run 275/40R18's on 18X10's on all 4 corners on the FR500's and Sportline springs (see sig. pic). Plenty of clearance in back FWIW, though it is a little tight up front (no rubbing though).

You should be fine as I have seen larger tires work, but call Mike at CruzinConcepts and see what his thoughts are. He has done all different setups and will be able to inform you or put you in touch with someone who has the setup you want.
