Default Ready to Order...few questions

Hello, I am finally ready to order my wheel/tire package after doing a little research.

I am going to go with 2 18X9.5(+54mm) and 2 18X10.5(+58mm) chrome Z06 replicas.
I am planning on BFG KDW's(new tread design) 275/35's for the front and 295/35's for the back. Possibly the BFG drag radial in the back.

Is anyone running these tires?? They seem to be rated really well, but I can't find much info about them.

I will be putting these on my 95 Z28, stock height for now, but I do plan to lower with the pro-kit, bmr or similar. I realize that I will have to do the BFH mod to the inner wheel well, I don't want to run a spacer though(looks or not). If the research I have done on here holds true I should be alright with the 295 and lowered with say the prokit with only the BFH mod right??

Thanks,
Nick

Worst case. You might have to get a adj. Panhard Rod with 58mm offset. If you can get a 56mm for the rear. I think they will work a little better. But if all else fails get a REALLY BFH.

I just checked, and I believe I can get a 56mm for the rear, so I'll go that route if it'll save me some room back there. I can't imagine 2mm will make much difference, but it can't hurt.

Yeah you wouldn't think 2mm would make a difference but it does.

Every MM counts. Try to get 54 mm offset.
