Rear coilover kits and tire size limitations?

What size tire is that fitting up in the front?

And for the rear, how far inset from the fender lip are they? My rear fenders have rub marks from the tire on the outside, but they were also huge 305/55/R20, so I think it was a matter of the 305s being much taller. When I did some measuring last night I was probably giving myself too much backspace and moving it too far from the outer fender, which would look off as your pictures they look almost flush and that looks right.

That's also the same 18x11 and 315 up front, also with the same backspacing. Yes, I can run a true, squared 18x11/315 setup.

Is that primarily due to the tci front end?

Yes. My current 18x9.5 wheels barely fit with the stock suspension. The TCI control arms are a bit more narrow, and with the rack & pinion and sway bar style, there's quite a bit more room. I could actually go 18x12 with 335s in front, but again, the rear is my limiting factor.

Good to know . . . damn maybe I need to consider doing the TCI front sooner just so I can go wider in the front. I was thinking 295, but if I could get a 305 up there I'd be really happy with that.
