no theres not a clearance issue....im running 285/40ZR18 on cobra deep dish bullets but with a 10 inch wheel you can keep the quad shock...i just turned 18 and this was my first set of wheels for my 95 gt vert and thats what i was scared of but everything turned out lookin sweet...and the tires barely stick out...but it gives you that mean look from the back of your car..

forgot to tell you that its when you get to running the 10 1/2 inch wheel that you usually have you take your quad shock off

the replica saleens also come in 18x9 option as well, How much do your stick out past the fender..if any...Flush is ok, i seen an older mustang with wheels sticking out like 1/2in and it was nasty to me!! Flush or in a tiny would be the best IMO
