Default Gonna order wheels and need HELP!!

Hey guys I have a 02 camaro ss stock height, only suspension mods are LCAs and a torque arm. I am buying OE wheels that are 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear.. I wanna get 255 45 18 tires in the front ( riken tires) and I wanna get 305 35 18 s in the rear Mickey thompsons.. But I don't wanna delete the bump stops and longer studs and roll the fenders and get spacers, so should I get 295s instead ? I was gonna get Nitto nt 05s for 295s ... So what should I do guys ?? And what offset should I get the wheels in ??? Please help ASAP !!

the 275s in the front will fit better on the 9.5" wheel.. for the rears Mickey's don't last too long so I'd go with the Nittos if it were me.

Ok , and I heard nittos are a little thinner then most DRs so will the 305 45 18s fit back there with no crazy modding ? I really only wanna do the BFH mod and maybe the numb stop .. That's all .. Also what offset ? Thanks again for the help !!

I'm not positive but if you go with 35 sidewall height in front and 45 sidewall in the rear that might offset the ABS, and the light will come on. The tire diameters may be too far off from each other that is why. I'm not sure about the offset, that's something to ask OEWheels, they should answer that no problem.

The Nitto's usually run more narrow from their advertised width, not necessarily the tread height or sidewall height. They will last a lot longer than the MT's though. I've had a set of Nitto 555r's last 20k.

i had nittos and now MTs. nittos are crap compared to them. nittos spin way to easy when youre messing around.

when i went to a bigger size i did trigger an ABS light so i went back to stock size.
