One last tire/rim question
One last question, does any body see any problems with running a 18x11 inch rear rim on my GTS fendered 87 with a 51 offset and a 295/30/18 or 305 tire.
Will I need spacers?
I think the fronts will be ok 18x8 et 57 running a 245 35 18

Hey Greg - I just put 295's on the rear of the Zyclamrot (90 S4) car. It has stock, but rolled, rear quarter panels. They are on a set of 10.5JX18 ET47 Mille Miglia Cup II 'Tribute" wheels 
They just fit (1/8 in clearance on the outside, no rubbing on the inside). Though you have a slightly larger offset, meaning you wheels will be 4mm closer to the inside wheel well, they should fit.
I decided to go with stock though rare 9JX17 ET70 Cup II's up front running 255's. No clearance issues.
