Default 295/35 18 rear tires

I run 295/35 18 Firehawks with 18x10 polished deep dish bullits (from MT via this site) on the back of my 02, lowered 1.2" with Steeda springs. No rubbing, and a little less than 1/2" clearance between them and the quad shocks.

A friend of mine runs the Nitto drag radials on the same wheels, and we had to swap ends of his quad shocks to stop rubbing the shocks. (He has just a little clearance now, maybe 1/4"). We considered removing the quad shocks altogether, which can be done, but found it wasn't necessary.

Now, the FRONT tires need to be 275 (or narrow sized 285's), on 18x9's or rubbing is almost certain.

Different types of wheels (and their various offsets) make a big difference. Measure your particular wheels, tires, etc. before making a decision.
