I've read of one person having an issue with the tires rubbing the fenders with 18" rims and having to roll the fenders. Anyone else have this issue?

I rubbed once (295-30-18,10" rim) with my Kumho's, but that was on a sweeping right hander while going over 80mph That was sorta an extreme condition though.

18's will just slow you down anyway

I've only got 285's on the rear, but I haven't had any rubbing issues. Fenders aren't rolled either.

18X9.5 with 285/35/18 GSD3's and no rubbing at all and i'm pretty low. I don't let anyone in the back seat so that might be a different story.

NO real issues here. Rubbed once with 285's but that was because i had 2 people in the back seat. Now with the H&R SuperSports, i have more clearance and stepping up to a 295

All I see in your sig is a plenum/tb, gears, exhaust, and short shifter

I guess you don't like guys that spray because we "cheat"

I don't like 18's...they look too big IMO . But you can do whatever you'd like
