I've got 285/30-18 on all four corners with CCW 18x10" wheels with 7.5" backspacing (measured) and coil-overs. I was amazed when I put them on this weekend at the track and got ZERO rubbing. I do have the screws that hold the fender liner on the top of the wheel arches in front removed. I also had the ride height up to stock-ish levels, -0.8 camber at each corner, and stiff 550/450 springs with stock bars. It seems like there is a lot of room in the back, though, and I would not expect any rubbing with the car lowered.
