If ur gonna go wider in the back, get an adjustable panhard bar.
Did you trim the bumpstops in the rear? If not, check very carefully to see if the wheels/tires come too close when the suspension hangs down. If someone puts the car on a lift the bumpstops could gouge the wheels and cut the tires. Your wheels might have a different offset which gives you a little extra clearance. My 17x11 wheels have 50mm offset which is real close on the inside so I had to trim the bumpstops. The Sumitomo 315's run a little narrower than most other brands so they give some extra clearance.
