You will have to be very careful with the gas pedal unless you want to do a lot of sliding around.
I wanted to use the Bridgestone Potenza RE11s but the sizes wouldn't work. Next best, as near as I could tell, was the PS2s. Looking at the Michelyn specs the SP wheel widths worked with the smaller tires (not the 305's or larger) - also - I didn't want to stray too far from factory recommendations because, while real wide rear tires look really great, they probably reduce handling performance (and we could debate about 0-60 performance). If I could have gotten 295's in my tire choice I would have gone for them (a factory option).
