18x11, ET40, for the rears, needs a mild spacer to keep a center cap (5mm). I'm not 100% sure on the weight as I broke my scale weighing some car parts that shouldnt have been on that scale. Going to buy a new one tonight or tomorrow.

If you have to 'baseball bat' them in, how much space do you think you'll need to find and is that with running some neg. on the back?
A 295 tire is better suited for a 11 inch rim. For 315 's ,12 inch wide rims are ideal . Improving the tire contact area with a larger or ideal rim width is a better approach than just try to fit the largest tire on a specific rim , mainly to keep the sidewall as strong as possible.

Hah, Was out there for two hours, lots more undercoating stripped off. Might be borrowing a rotisserie, *crosses fingers*. I should've dropped the fuel tank today but just didnt feel like it.

I hate those little things. See you get a heater blowing warm air on you, then you move to get a tool or something and you get hit with blast of cold air as you walk across the garage to get a tool, etc. Drives me nuts. If I bundle up I'm pretty warm, I was actually comfortable in the barn tonight, just takes enough layers to lose some mobility.
