Strano springs. I have the same wheel/tire combo. I have strano rear springs and pro-kit fronts. I have some modifications done to help the wheels fit, but none that absolutely NEED to be done. I daily drive my car and like to throw it in to corners quite often. If you do the same, youll need a little bit of massaging for them to fit perfect. Offsets will determine how much modification exactly.

I have c5 Z06 oem wheels with the 18x10.5 in the rear. I am running 295's and currently, my car has sportlines with the 1.75" drop. With this, I had to roll both fender lips and hammer the inner fenderwell where the tires were rubbing on cornering. It took only 2 hours to complete those two tasks.
