I`m going to order some wheels from late model restoration for my 10th ann. The wheel of interest for the rear is the 18x10 Chrome 10th replica. I was wanting to run either the 293/35/18 or the 315/30/18 Michelin PS2 on the car. Has anyone run this setup or a similar set up and had clearance issues? The car has stock suspension except for PHP hop shocks. I understand that I will more then likely need to run the MM IRS bolt for clearance. Anyone else shed some light for me on this?

Thanks
Burn

I run Michelin Pilots 295/35/18 on a 10" Rim in the rear, no issues with rubbing and I have the Stock IRS Bolt. Cannot comment on the 315's ......

For a 10" wheel I would do a 295/35 with a 265/35 on the front 9" wheels.

For a 10.5" wheel I like a 315/30, and if I was going to run a 11" wheel I would go with a 335/35. JMO
