hey guys im getting some corvette 18's for my 98 t/a. they're 18x9.5 all around and i was going to use 245/40/18 in the front and 265/35/18 in the rear. so i have 2 questions...
1. is 260/35/18 the widest i can go on a 9.5 rim?
2. will i have ANY rubbing problems at all on the car id i lowered it with the eibach prokit (about 1.5 drop)?

please let me know what you're thoughts are. thanks for your help guys!!

Actually youre tire size choice is quite small for those wheels. 9.5" wide wheels are usually recommended to have a 275 tire on them. depending on the tire brands you can go about one size in either direction (ie: 265 or 285). a 245 is certainly gonna look very stretched out on a 9.5" wheel.
I say go with 275-35-18s on all four wheels. you should not have any rubbing issues after installing the pro-kit.

I agree 275 all around U shouldnt experience any rubbing I got 295/35/18's on a 10.5" vette wheel out back and I never rub and my car is lowered 2"

275's all the way around work good.
