Default z06 replicas on 2000 trans am

ok i read the sticky about everything you should need to know.
i have the zo6 rep 18x10.5 with the +58mm offset.
i plan on running a 305/35/18 rear tire, with that said i know a BFH mod will need to be done no matter what. my question, what sized spacer would need to be used and would the fenders need to be rolled? i plan on lowering this on eibachs later on aswell. thoughts?
in all honesty ive search and read on different threads and never really see anyone doing any real follow up on this.
plus im new to the whole wheel/tire fitment relme, i just like going fast.
but on this car i want to balance it out as best of my ability.
thanks in advance for any and all help guys.

Fitment is tight and you need to jack the car up via the rear axle, or else the wheels will not be able to fit on the car due to a metal protrusion which gets in the way of the wheels as the suspension recompresses.

You can fit 17x9.5 in the front with minor rubbing on with the steering wheel at the limit and 18x10.5 in the back with rubbing during hard turns.

No BFH mod needed, just make sure you lift the car with jackstands on the rear axle to mount the rear wheels.

Lowered 1.5, on I don't remember what anymore... Front is lower than rear.

Thanks.
