Default How wide of a tire can i put on?

I tried using the search feature but wasnt able to find what i was looking for. Anyway i have a 08 GT, i want to put some wider wheels and tires on in the back, what i am lookin to do is put the deep dish bullits(18x10) in back with possibly a 315 for a tire, the car is not dropped yet but will be shortly, probably gonna go with the rousch springs, anybody maybe curretly running this setup if so any rubbing issues that i should be aware of, also if the combo i am talkin about is just plain not gonna work without major modification, maybe somebody with like a 295 or 305 combo could give me their input. Thanx alot guys any info is appreciated

you will need an adj panhard bar to re-center the axle after the drop and maximize the width of the tire out back.

I've been told that once you get over the 300 width and drop the car, you'll likely need to get your fenders rolled. I haven't gone this far, so maybe someone else can confirm.

Do you experience any rubbing, and are those drag radials btw?
