Soclean,
Looking proper. Nice stance!
Fitment looks on point. Nice lil vid, looks clean rolling.

Test fitment day 2!
So Edafe suggested we use the "cheater" method on the BC racing coilovers by placing the spring over the coils like a true c-over setup which dropped the car considerably. Took a quick video. Still need to pull the fenders a bit more.

video is still processing so give a sec.

25.4mm = 1inch
So you can get a rough idea on how much stretch your going to get by doing the following:
Example: 235/30 on a 10.5
10.5 times 25.4 = 266.7
266.7(rim width) minus 235(tire width) = 31.7mm
31.7mm is the total amount of rim not covered by the tire.
15.9mm would be the amount of rim showing on each side of the tire/rim.
I am no pro, but I would think this would be a decent way of getting a rough estimate on the amount of stretch your going to get.

^^ I don't know about all those numbers I just know what works,,lol
Jonny,
That can be done, only prb I see is its a 30series tire, my be switch to a 35series.. but it can be done.. no prb
And thanks everyone,, wont have pics up until Import Reactor cause I have stuff out painting and new suspension comes in tomorrow.. But I will let you guys now

for example 10.8" section width on an 11" wheel will stretch about .2" but you also have to consider tread widths being different also.
a hankook with a 10.8" section width my only have 9.8 tread width, while a goodyear with a 10.8" section width may have a 10.4 tread width, giving the hanklook the appearance of more stretch.

this is a good way top get a rough estimate keeping in mind each tire is different. look up the tire on tirerack and find the section width of the tire, that is about how wide it will be over all.
for example 10.8" section width on an 11" wheel will stretch about .2" but you also have to consider tread widths being different also.
a hankook with a 10.8" section width my only have 9.8 tread width, while a goodyear with a 10.8" section width may have a 10.4 tread width, giving the hanklook the appearance of more stretch.

Putting all this together, you should be able to get a decent idea of how much stretch you will be getting for w/e setup.
