What are you running suspension wise? The Ride Tech guys got 315/30/18s on 10.5s at all 4 corners in an unflared car running their new suspension set up. That being said, its definitely not cheap!

I'm running stock coil spring front suspension for starters. I may go coilover down the road, but you can get the stock setup to work pretty good on these cars. The rear suspension is a DragVette 6-link with Van Steel offset arms. The Ridetech guys run lots of backspacing which puts the tire into the sway bar and frame on a stock setup. If I end up needing that extra inch of wheel and tire up front for track events, I'll just buy another set of front wheels dedicated for racing where a little rubbing is no big deal.
