295/40-18 on the rear of a 2nd gen Camaro

[OLDFLM]

I think it'll be tough on a Camaro with the flat top on the wheel well...

My 71 Firebird has Falken 295/40/18s on 18x10 Rushforth Superspokes on the back with the big round wheel wells... with 5.75" backspacing... stock tubs... stock rear end housing etc.

Keep in mind I've got more room without the stock rear leaf springs utilizing the BMR rear torque arm suspension.

Pics attached... HTH

I see you are running the BMR Torque arm rear suspension. They are right around the corner from me and I am interested in their suspension but I am worried about routing exhaust through all that piping. I will be using 3" pipes, do you think there will be any problems? I am going to ask Lee about it but I wanted an indepedant opinion before asking. I have bought a lot of stuff from them for my 96 Camaro SS and love their stuff. How does the car handle with the TA? Is there a provision for a rear sway bar? I was thinking of running a 295/35ZR18 (2004 Z06 size tire) or maybe a 305 if I can. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
