[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15735594, member: 124025"] Just realize, the wider the rim, the wider the cross section will end up. I have run both a 315/35-20 and a 325/30-20 on an 11" rim. Cross section on both were 12.6". You only have about 13.5" of wheel well to work with and the tire needs some room for articulation on the inside wheel well. It will rub occasionally unless you go outboard. Once you start moving the wheel/tire combo outboard you will risk contact between the outer fender lip and the tire. Not trying to dissuade you, but only speaking from my experience. I'm going to be switching to a True Forged wheel that will be 11.5" but with the same offset I have currently with my widened 11" wheel and spacers. I'm pretty sure the cross section is going to be 13", but the 325/30 is an inch shorter than the 315/35. I'm also stepping up the spring rate in the rear for less body roll. Here is my car with the 315s widened on 11" PP wheels. That tire is 28.8" tall. You should be a good 2" shorter with 18s. [ATTACH=full]1442528[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
