I just purchased a set of C6 Z51 wheels, 18x8.5 front and 19x10 rear and i need to know about tire options, for the rear mostly...yes i did a search. I plan on running a 1.25" adapter for the rear.

I'm trying to choose between 3 sizes of rear tires. It looks like 275/30/19's are a good option, but it seems they will be a little shorter than stock. 285/30/19's would be nice but i guess they are kind of an oddball size. 295/30/19 i think would be great height, just under 26" tall, but i don't want to have to bfh my car. Anyone know if you need bfh with 295's on C6 wheels (& 1.25 spacers)? My car is currently not lowered. Does that make any difference? Opinions please!

My C6 stock wheels (79mm offset 19x10) with the 1.5" spacer on an LS1 Camaro did not need the bfh mod. I did roll my fenders before the install. If it's going on your Firebird, you might not need to roll your fenders but it's adviseable not knowing your suspension setup.
