don't go wider than 255's in the front and you should be fine..........I am pretty sure

I have a 95 with 18x9.5 all around. Fronts are 265/35 and rear are 295/35. No problems whatsoever and no modifications necessary. 18x10 will not give you a problem in the rear either and you can run up to a 315. I know because I have done it. Hope that helps. Also, someone posted not to run wider than a 255 in front. [BS flag] I ran a 275 and it was perfect. They did grab the road a little to much for me but as far as fitting, it is fine.

i have a 97 cobra with those exact wheels. 265/35 front and 295/35 rear. when i bought the car it had FMS C springs on there, these springs were too soft so when i cornerd hard the outside of the rear tire would rub on the lip of the fender. i then switched out to eibach sportlines which are stiffer in the rears, everything now solved. both of these springs were about 2" drops. with a 1.5" drop, you would not have any problems. i also have tokico adj. set on 5 firm so this helps too.
