does use a baseball bat get a fender roller or have a shop do it you don't want to risk cracking your paint and def do it before you get the tires cause you don't want to dice um up......other than that everything should fit fine....

SN95 denotes all 94-04 cars..

I believe you should be fine, depending on the tire brands you run... Some run wide and some run narrower...
I know my termi buddy is going to be running 335 nittos on his 18" fr500's..

It has just as much to do with backspacing, offset, etc of the rims as it does tire size. What rims are u running?

18" 305's will fit in the rear with no problems at all.
I have 285's and have atleast an inch of clearance to run more tire when i order my next set.

What size rear wheel are you running (width)
