What's the offset on the rims you are buying. I had C5 Z06's with +55 offset and had to do BFH mod & run 1/8" spacers. Now I'm running C6 Z06's +53 and don't have the spacer anymore.
This would be for any 295 tire. I ran 305's most of the time and they cleared fine.

I run a c5 Z06 18x10.5 with a 295/35/18 on the back on my TA without any clearance problems its close but they fit. I should also add my car is lowered with a prokit

i have the black Zo6 motorports rims on my '98 SS. i have the "stock" SLP/Eibach 1" drop springs adjustable everything rear suspension (PHB helps center rear end)...and my rears are the 18x10.5 with 58mm backspacing i believe. i also run 295-35r18 BFG kDW2 (new tread) tires...BFG tires are known to run wider then most, and i had to "massage" my fender wells in a little bit, not too terribly much though.
you will find that the bump stops are in the way when you go to put the rim on when the axle is extended fully....put a jack under the center of the rear end and lift the car up that way the inside of the rim won't hit the bumpstops when you go to throw it on

i have 315/30 R18 on 18X10 z06's. I also have a prokit and umi adj phb. i had to do bfh on left side only. Its hella close on both sides though. I have no idea on the backspacing though. They are the z06 replicas and I bought them off my budy who had them on his camaro which wasnt lowered and they were fine on his.
