C6 Deep Dish Size Question I just got my C6 Deep Dish Wheels from OEWHEELS! 18x8.5 / 18x10.5 . They are beautiful. I have a tire hook-up through my job. He is directing me to 2 options. Which (if either) should I go with? I am stock height, no PHB and no BFH mod.
Falken 452's 245 40 18 front / 275 35 18 Rear or...
Kumho KH-16 255 55 18 Front / Kumho STX 275 55 18 Rear
Which setup would look better? Which setup would handle better and will I have rubbing issues with either one with my stock ride? Really appreciate your opinions.

Do you want drag radials? I would go with some wider tires do the bfh then take off your bump stops and cut them off flush to the inner fender. No reason for them to stick out a inch.

If you are comparing these sizes to drag radials do you mean they'll have too much sidewall? I do want as much sidewall as I can get away with without rubbing. I do not like the low profile skinny tire look. Ideally I would have preferred a smaller diameter rim to have a bigger tire but I love these rims. I do actually prefer the drag setup look but I want a daily driver rim and tire. What do you recommend for these?

Not really. I do want some sidewall I think it looks aggressive but yeah not to that extreme. I thought those would be a bit much. What are you running on your car? I like.

I just ordered some c6 wheels as well. I got the regular not deep dish. But they came in 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. My current tires are michelins and are in good shape. But they are 245 40 18 front and 275 40 18 rear. Not what I would have picked. But they only had 2kmi on them when I got them.

I did have some slight rubbing but at the same time I was pretty slammed with the Eibach prokit and didn't have an adj. panhard bar at the time. I didn't do any hammering and didn't have to remove the bump stops.
