hey guys i got a question in regards to my tire set up. i have 18x10 inch fr500s in the back of my 95 gt and i need new tires soon! im thinking of going the direction of a 295-35-18. but im also curious about some 315-30-18. i have eibach lowering springs on my car and idk if the 315s will rub since my car is lowered. will i have to do anything with my suspension to fit 315s? thank.

Generally a 295 will be the best fit. I've seen people mount 305 & 315 Nitto DRs on a 18x10 with no problems though since they tend to be more narrow than other tires.

315s will definitely rub. you're going to have to roll your fenders, i had to do it with mine.

We're running a 295/35/18 on the rear with the Ford C springs.No problems at all.Probably gonna go with a 285/35/18 next though.

i doubt you'd have too, but all you do is unbolt it and literally turn it upside down and bolt it back up. I doubt you'll have to do it though.
