Yes, With 18" wheels you can get more backspace as the wheel will clear the nuts on either side of the lower hub carrier assembly.

I have the brake rotors mounted on outside hats, pushing the wheels out a bit. My 285's are pretty close to the fender. If I go to 18" wheels can I get more backspace? I going to make a fixture to measure the clearances all around.

Thanks Jon,
That's why I asked, LOVE mine 335/17/35 on 17 x 11
Looks amazing and always a comment from others about all the "meat" on the ground
it helps to have the beef to back them up.

Perhaps aesthetically in your opinion, but not physically on a narrow bodied
car. Mine and many others have them.
