That is the same offset range i would shoot for to go 315's also

Is offset based on the SM suspension or ASP as well?

Im my case that would definitely be based on SM suspension. Trailing arm in back and ability to push shock further inboard with the billet uprights are what gives me room to go in more than an ASP car.

^^^ what Dallas said.

You have to add about an inch to clear the stock trailing arm and about 2 inches up front.

Looks like it will widen the car about 6 inches..... Thats a bunch.... At what point is the added grip not worth the added width?

How do you get 6in? If you can get 285/295 to fit, It would be 1" on each side to the outside to clear. So that could be as little as 2" wider. The tire is taller though, so you may find yourself rubbing sooner but just dont steer as far.

A lot of that also depends if you can get the tire beside the strut or if the spring and perch must be there like the Ohlin Flags. Clearing the spring/perch pushes things out 3/4". On my setup thats the inward front limit.

I ordered F14 18x12 +32 last month. I'm hoping I get something before the end of the year... Fingers crossed!

evodave fender mod may come in handy for the fronts?

I got my rear voltex style flares from carbonplus in australia. but should be on ebay too

Lol, not even close. The ohlin flags move the spring down with the way the canister is hard mounted so I've lost 0.75" there. Even without that issue, the 315s are 1" wider than 285 and 295s so you're further than you can account for with the fender mod. Also, my struts are pushed in 12mm further than really anyone's because I made a custom strut mount (on the uprights) for maximum tire clearance. So I would say 315s under stock fenders would really require something beyond aggressive. May be possible, but you're really looking at sacrificing other things to get it working.

Also with the taller tire, getting low means doing more fun cutting. I think with the ASP mods, OP shouldn't be as worried about low since RC drops way too much but in SM prep with that fixed, it can be dumped pretty hard but there's still limitation above the tire even with cutting.

315 on a 10.5" w/stock body has been done before and gotdamnit I'll do it again! My car is already missing half its paint so I don't have anything to lose (except the other half of the paint).

Only problem is a 285 is faster on a 10.5" wheel than a 315 is.

Put that 315 on a 11.5 or 12" and its a very different story.

Dan Stainback and maybe Tim White told me the same thing. Can do 10.5 if just trying to get things sorted for fit but needs more wheel. Though we're talking hoosier here and Austin may be thinking street tire for track.
