Just ordered 18x11 and 305/45/18

I just ordered a new rear wheel and tire set up.

18x11 rims and a 305/45/18 tire. The info was scattered if this fits nicely on a lowered car, so I'll post the result when they arrive.

What rim and tire package did you decide to go with? I was thinking about getting the factory reproduction 18x11 rims with some new MT radials.

The factory reproductions Camaro style 41 ZL 18x11.

First tire on will be nitto 555r 305/45/18.

I was trying to do a m&h 325 I think is the measurement. But I wasn't sure how close that would come to the lower control arm on a lowered car.

So I went with a tire I know runs on the small side and work up from there.

That sounds like a good setup, hopefully you will be able to hook up good with your HP levels.

With no room to spare.

It looks like there is a fingers width to spare.

Will have to check in a week or so for any rubbing

I did 18x11 a few years ago, if you areally lowered a lot your want to check your wheel to LCA clearance.
