fitment check on a second gen
Alright. Will a set of 26x10.5x16 M/T ET Street Radial, on a stock turbo/10ae wheel fit on an FC with a rolled fender? Or will it rub in funky places?
Suspension is HKS Hipermax Drag coilovers.

I could be wrong but a service technician at a Discount Tire said the rears will fit without issues. As for the fronts, I've heard 225 is the widest before it rubs the fender with variations of tire brands.
I have no experience with coilover fitments.
Sorry if this does not help. I'm sure someone with more knowledge/experience will chime in.

I don't think you'll have any trouble as far as rubbing goes, but a 10.5" wide tire on a 7" wide wheel... I don't know much about drag racing, but that seems like a little bit of a stretch.
Have you tried asking in the drag racing section of the forum? There might be more knowledgeable people there that have run setups like this.

255/45/16
I just put 255/45/16s on a 87 T2 today. Stock rims and suspension, back has plenty of room, front appears to sit on the spring just barely but doesnt touch inner or outer fender and no loss of steering. I think the rims could have held another 20 or so from the looks of it, they aren't stretched that bad at all. Gonna drop the Tokico coils I have had laying around on this weekend, I am hoping it will make some room up front. If not I will have to put spacers on and will give feedback on size needed through trial and error. Brand is some new stuff, hook-up vs guinnea pig, we will see how these Nexen tires do.

OK, coils are on the front. Clearance between the tire and the side of the Tokico illuminati shock is less than 1/16th but it does clear. I am considering puting a small spacer like a 3mm on just to give myself some room but I think I will drive it a few miles first and check it. If no rub I may take it out one night this weekend and drive it to try and push it. If still no rub, I will most likely pass on the spacer and just monitor it. Again this is a 255/45/16 Nexen 3000 on a stock 87 T2 rim.
My suggestion: If you want to keep the same size all the way around and aren't positive on fitment would be to mount the 2 on the front and check, if they fit you are good, if they rub move them to the back and get smaller for the front.
