It's actually American made. Jeff Kiesel from 7parts engineered this for his track car.
Here's how the finished product will look like. As you can see, Pettit rear flares compliment this front end well.

I know how much we can go inward, you will want to run a 12.5" or 13" wide wheel for the 315 (michelin PS2 is 12.5" wide). Hoosier 315/30/18 is 11.8" wide so a 12" will do.
Problem with running that wide and that tall is you will hit the wiring on the drivers side, and also hit the frame. May need some modifications to run all this.
Once I get it installed, getting help picking out wheels would be much appreciated. I would love to run a squared 17x12 setup if I have the real-estate to support it. However, most folks with this bumper run 17x11 up front. I'll just have to take some measurements once installed. But with 2 inches of additional space on each side, 12 inch wide wheels in the front appear possible (especially if you can fit 18x10 wheels on stock fenders). I'm just concerned about clearing my control arms.
As far as mods to fit 315 tires, I'm already trying to figure out if I'm going to keep, relocate, or eliminate the coolant overflow tank, windshield washer tank, factory fender liner, and the chassis harness. Plenty of work ahead.
