Boomer - They actually called me back and stated that I have to run the 9.5 fronts because the backspacing + the lightweight reduction wasnt enough to clear the Baer 6S kit on a 10" wide wheel. Somehow it works out when you do it on a 9.5" wheel. Thats fine by me cause Im gonna run a 275/35R18 up front and a 9.5" wheel is spec on Michelin's website. Atleast so I keep the stock diameter of the tire, when compared to a stock size 275/40R17. In fact I asked for a 18X9.5 when I originally called them and got the same answer you did, "We normally run a 18x10 up front on f-bodies".
SSmoken - I bought the tires about a year ago with side job money. I just ordered the wheels with my tax return money + a paycheck. I live in the country/suburbs, No curbs in my subdivision!. I dont know where Im gonna get the money for the Baer 6S kit I want!! Yikes. Cannot decide if I just want to settle for the 6P kit or just go for the 6S.

Yes, they were bought our by Kodiak Motorsports and are now being made in British Colombia. They purchased all the rights and tooling from Fikse so the wheels are identical.
