spidey is infamous around these parts
I'm running TOYO RA-1's (245 front, 335 rear) on 18"....

No rubbing at the front, slight rubbing on rear inner plastic fender liner.

Spidey, I assume your rear wheels are 12 inches wide. Have you tried anything wider than a 315 on the back other than the Cup tires?? I wanted to go wider but others have said it wouldnt work?? What ya think??

TIA

Tom, if you go alot wider in the back you'll be promoting more understeer. Depends on what you want really.
