I've gone 345/18 but car wasn't lowered very much. But no rubbing at all.

Well your rim is a 10 so I don't think you can go wider then 315z, the widest I've seen are 335z on 1sickGT's old car looked hella badass

335's will fit just fine on a 10 inch wide rim with wheel spacers, even on a fox.

Sorry, not trying to run wheel spacers. Heard too many highspeed horror stories about those.

I believe 295 are the recommended tire size anyways on a 10" wheel. Anything else will bulge

Here's mine on 295/35/18

I run 315/35/18 Toyo Drag radials on my 11" ccw classics in back. Rolled the fenders flat and still rub if i go into driveways too quick or hit too hard of bumps. Car is a 2000 GT with a 1.5 finger gap in the back without me in it. It depends on a lot of things though. The tires i run are 26.6" tall which is damn tall for a street tire. With the 30 series you can get away with a bit more. I ran these tires on my 10" black saleens too without any issues, they bulge a bit but not toooo bad.
