Bryan,
I have P185/60D13 (steet race tire) on the Panasports. I would expect that
the my wheel would be very similar to what you friend purchased. I have 1/4
inch spacers in the back, offset springs and a panhard bar. I have about
2.25 inches clearance between the tire and the spring and the spring is
offset about 1.25 inches from where the spring would normally be. The
fronts are without spacers. I have never rubbed a tire under hard cornering.
