The rear has 315/30/18 A6 Hoosiers on 10.5 inch wheels. Again, with rolled fender lip and 2 1/4" coilover. The rear longitudinal trailing arm is aftermarket, and moved inboard as far as possible. The tires still rub the arm, inner fender well and outer fender lip, just barely under 1.35G loads. It is amazing how much the tire flexes under load, as the static clearance to the trailing arm is about 1/2". Tried to go to an 11" wheel and the stretched tire was just a little to big. If you are running 285's on the rear, you should have no problem on clearance.

What trailing arms were they? Or do you think all aftermarket will work?

You really wouldn't be able to see that without a picture taken from below the fend looking up at the lip.
