I removed my quad shocks many many moons ago. Ive had 18x11 TF wheels on the back for a bit, then went to a set of Cosmis with 18x10s out back.
Also had some Saleens and 03 reps. Rear tires ranging from 275-315s, and the only clearance issue I had was a BFG 315 rubbing on my driver's side exhaust.

With how little I usually drive the car, they'll probably crack and dry rot on me before the tread gets too low. 18k on it now, barely put 800 miles on it since I bought it in 19. Love black when it's clean but man it's a PITA to keep it clean, plus I don't usually like driving it anywhere I can't keep a constant eye on it.

Hahaha I hear you. Mine hasnt moved in a while but that is for different reasons. Tires are shot.
It sits in the garage next to my buddied 94 which is black and man you can see everything on it if you arent careful, even after washing it. Dark colors can suck!

My 94 Cobra rear setup:
Rims: 17x10.5" Black Bullitt replica
Tires: NITTO NT555's 285/40/17
Quad Shocks: completely removed as well as attaching bracket to rear frame rail

I used to have a set of 335/35/17's on it, but when it was time to replace those tires, I was having a difficult time trying to get a set of same brand tires with that huge of a rear tire. So I opted for a different rear size so I could get all (4) tires by the same Tire Manufacturer which is still quite a wide rear tire.
