Daniel, are you sure it will fit all cars and all suspension heights? I didn't think so. Like I stated previously, mine rubs during hard cornering. I am also several inches lower than the redline chevelle. 315's are over 1.5" wider than 275's plus the fact the sidewall will grow more on an 11" than on a 9.5" rim. If you barley fit a finger now how are tires 3/4" wider per side going to fit with no problem?
Shoot me your email Craig and I'll scan the article. It may have to come in several installments as it is a dozen pages or so.

There is a good inch and half from the inside of the tire to the frame. A wider wheel and tire would of course require a differnt offset to bring that extra tire to inside and not the outside. On My car half of the sidewall sits inside the fenderwell at ride hieght with no load. Half a dozen track days and a couple dozen autocrosses and no rubbing, if Your conering harder I would say Your dragging sheet metal not rubbing tires.
