For the record, 285/30 18's on a 10" rear wheel, offset 58, will rub on an '86 with the 21mm spacers.

Not surprising. Your effective offset with spacers was 37mm which is very low for the rear.

Very nice. I've been tempted by the 19" version that's 11" wide.

Mine rubbed on the rear slightly. Check the inner wheel well.
