Uh oh Haha I just bought 18x10's. Pictures will be up this weekend. But do you think rolling your fenders will solve your problems? Cuz I have 305s on the back with the rims too.

I've heard of guys on the forums running 315's fenders rolled and no issues. I really hope so. Damn tires are getting exspensive!

Tire width in the rear only matters 50%. The real question is the offset of the wheel.
18x10 with a 298/35/18 will keep stock diameter and fill the gap well. Actual width will vary with brand. I'm a big fan of BFG just because they run much wider compared to brands like Nitto (as an example, BFG's 295 is physically wider than Nitto's 305).

I run 295 width on my 18x10s with no rubbing issues at all. If you do need a good 1" spacer, Steeda sells them for $100 a pair.

Did it really? Are you SRA still? I was planning on getting h&r ss springs because I want my car lower then what it is but I don't want to rub.

Why not 18" Saleens with 315's?

I have a set of Saleen Rims on mine although they are not Chrome. I have not lowered the car any yet (eventually plan 1 & 1.5 inch lowering) but for now I love my Saleens, I may look into a different tire considering how poorly the Nitto P555 handles in the rain though.
