I’m putting 315's on mine this weekend along with 2" drop I'll post pics and let everyone know of any rubbing issues. And I didn’t adjust my speedo, because due to the lower profile tire and lager rim the speedo is only of a small amount there is a tire/speed calc, link.

I have 265/35-18s in front, and 295/35-18s out back with 1.75" of drop. I think if I would have went much wider in back I'd be rubbin the exhaust....

18x10.5 rears and 18x8 fronts. 315 will fit no problem. Mine has 2" lowering springs and I have plenty of room to fit 315's under there. (which is what I am going with when these are burnt off)

First, where did you find an 18x10.5 rim? I have 18x10 with 295s and it's super close to rubbing in the back. And that's only with a 1.75" drop. And my car looks lower then yours even.
