I have 18/9.5s on the front with 275/35s on the front and the tire side wall is straight with the wheel. It looks good. I have 18/9.5s on the back to and I wish i would have gotten 18/10.5s. So get the 10.5s. It will make your car look totally different.

Thanks for the advice....you might think I'm crazy but I have chrome ZR1s currently and think the painted wheels look better! I'm 95% convinced of it. I viewed all of the cars on LS1.com under their wheel/tire section and feel that they look better. Remember, I have chrome currently....did you ever consider anything other than chrome?

Yeah I love the black wheels. I was going to get the setup you have except in black but I didn't know how it would look on a NBM car so that's why I went with chrome.

See if you like this set, I took 6 months or more to make a decision:
18x9.5" with 245/40 [front] , but I want a little more I'll change to 275/40
18x10.5" with 285/40 [rear]

See My Ride

Good luck man!!!
