Im ordering SSR GT3', 18x9 front and 18x10.5 rear, plan on using the yokahama AVS's tires 295/35YR18 rear and 275/35YR18 front. I am being told that I may have issues both front and rear with these sized tires. If your running GT3's, what size tires are you running and are you having any rubbing issues?

275/35 in front and 295/35 in rear for me. Been running that combo for a while with no problems at all, and my car is lowered as well.

Great guys, thats what I needed to hear, thanks for confirming for me!! When you say grind the bolt, is the bolt an issue with suspension compressed or unloaded or just sitting there?

Im running 275 up front and 315 on the rear on my SSR's and seems like i have plenty of clearance.
No spacers , no shaving needed here.

for some reason, tire rack says that when you buy the ssr gt3's. they want you to put a 275 (stock width) on that 10.5 wide rear rim! silly! i've got oem viper tires on my rears, 335/30-18. shaved the bolt for a little clearance but no issues thus far with about 1000 miles on it. i'm lowered with eibach's, which any lowering from stock automatically gives you more clearance. (as the car gets lower, the IRS bolt gets further away)
