do you guys have any rubbing or cutting on the outside edge of the tire w/295's, cause iv 315s on there right now and if i bottom out the fenders will actually cut the tires, thats why im trying to go w/a 295 or 305. wasnt sure if a 295 would fit but since you guys are running em i think im going w/that

I have 295/35ZR18 on a 10.5" wide wheel with a very aggressive offset of 38 mm. I am lowered 1" and did have a slight issue with the passenger side tire corner tread blocks scraping the wheel well lip. A very slight roll of the quarter panel lip solved that.

You can see some of the scrapes here:



When I ran 58 mm offset Z06 replicas, the tire was plenty far enough away from the quarter panel lip.

295's here. 305's are a waste of $ over 295s because they are bairly wider only like 1/4" and if you put them side my side they look the same. The 295s are alot cheeper too

you dont have to do the BFG mod in to drive around some people do it to the bump stop to be safe. My car didnt scrub when it was on the ground but if you jacked it up and let the rear end and it would hit the bump stop so i cut them off. Just in case i was to hit a big enough bump and have the *** end come up high enough i wouldn't have anything to worry about.
