Default Looking at a set up for my SOM SS

I'm far away from buying any wheels right now but looking at the beyern rapp
http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...k%20Gloss.html
i would go with 18x9.5 on all 4 with 275/35/18 or 19x9.5 front with 275/30/19 and 20x10 rear with 295/25/20. Just need a little input and advice. And if i go with the 19/20 set up would i have to do any mod to my rear tubs (the BFH mod) I'm really not trying to mess with the body at all. I'm just trying to go with a different look with the car (not trying to get corvette wheels because i got a camaro for a reason lol) the littlest info will gladly be appreciated.

I think 18/19 would look about right on your car.
18x9.5 and 19x9.5
wheels look great. good find and not bad on the prices either.

If the 19 inch wheels came wider then 9.5(would love if they came 19x10.5 so i can fit a 305 tire)the 20 wouldn't even be a question. The reason I'm saying 19/20 is because the 19x9.5 has a 3 inch lip and the 20 has a 3.25 lip. i think it would look odd with a stagger look with the 3 inch lip on all 4.
thanks for replying
