I'm running 18x9.5 rear wheels w/ 25mm offset. Stock length rear end w/ baer brakes. I took my quad shocks off when I installed the MM lower adjustable arms. No wheel hop problems at all w/ those lower arms plus you can raise and lower the back of the car at your convenience. 275/35r18, 275/40r17 clear with no problems.
