Default Mallett wheels/Ecsta 710

Hi Guys
I picked up a set of Mallett wheels
9.5x18 with 48mm offset front
11x18 with 59mm offset rear
Will I be able to run Kumho Ecsta V710 tires
285x30x18 on the front and
315x35x18 on the rear without any clearence issues?

I am running with a lowered C5 suspension but I seem to remember someone doing this and they had a rubbing issue on the rear or it might have been a bigger tire, I just can not remember.

I have run that same setup on my wifes 98 without any issues.

Yes I do. They are the one piece 396 wheels. I got them to use on my car but every once in awhile while I throw them on my wifes car if we are out at a test and tune and they work fine. They are the same offset as you listed.

Like I said I have not had any issues with them todate.
