Here's my problem. The BFGs in 295/35/18 look better on the 9.5" width wheel than the 10.5" wheel. Maybe I'll go with 9.5" at all four corners like you.

How do those BMR springs ride? They claim 1.25". but yours looks lower. Stock on my SS is four fingers. How many fingers between your tire/wheel well?

Damn right it does. I've got some 18x9.5 with 275/35 all around on back order. makes me want to change the order for the rears but I've already got one car with staggered directionals that can't be rotated. Probably not a big deal though. Also have the Summit springs sitting in the garage that will probably go on next weekend when I'm off. Don't know why I didn't go ahead and order them so I'd have them when I put another rear end under it last weekend but oh well. It's an easy change out.

so if you put 18x9.5 rims all around that would fit. with no rubbing or scraping?? I wanted to go 285/35/18 in rear and 275/35/18 in front. THX

I'm interested in seeing more 295's on a 9.5" rim. it just seems like that tires is too wide for that rim.
