Update! 

I picked the car up from the shop to continue doing some of the work myself.  I need to complete the shaker setup, the Painless wiring install and put the wheels on / finish the brakes.  I put the wheels on between the past weekend and yesterday.  The front brake calipers are being searched for at the shop it was at.  I just got the hardware for the drivers seat today too.  Grade 8 mounting bolts and stainless seat to bracket bolts.  Anyways, here are some pics of the wheels.  The quarter lip will need to be rolled but I got these wheels with old tires for really cheap.  I'm very lucky they fit as well as they do.  I thought I was going to have to narrow the rear end. 

Anybody modify the fender brace to clear big wheels and tires?  It seems like there's good clearance on the driver's side since it has some negative camber and isn't sitting as low as the passenger side.  I just want to make sure I don't mess up a new fender when I hit a bump.

By the way, the tires are 335/30/18 on the back and there are 285/35/18's on the front. I haven't checked the front for clearance yet.  Here's a picture of where I'm at with the shaker setup.  I'm waiting on a buddy to make the shaker base and struts on his CNC plasma machine.  The lid is ready to go.
