I need some help I recently purchased my SS and am still learning something new about it everyday. I've read all the stickies and searched like crazy for answers but am still confused about what size rims and tires will fit. I'm currently running with the C5 17x9.5 with 275/40/17 all the way around. This is the current suspension it sits on: Front is Global West Adj Coil-Over w/Koni Single Adj Shocks & Eibach 55o lb Springs and Rear is Koni Single Adj Shocks & Eibach 180 lb Springs. Not sure of how much of drop this is but its pretty low. My plan is to get a bigger tire, being a M/T drag radial, on the back and some new OEwheels C6 Chrome DD wheels. Since I've already got 4 decent tires now, i was thinking of getting the staggered 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 and using the tires i have now for the fronts since (i have 4 of them) and not sure on size for the rear. What would be the biggest I could fit on the rear without rolling the fender or using the BFH. Would the 305/35/18 Mickeys work? And if it did would it look okay? Any opinions and help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks members
P.S. heres a pic of the stance and wheels it has now:

295/35/18 all day, probably fine with a 305/35/18 Mickey. But.... that thing is slammed, nobodys going to be able to tell you it wont rub unless you mock them up. Also, get an adj PHB it will help center the rear. All of this is covered countless time in these posts, search function

It already has the PHB on it so that's covered. Thanks for the help. Just wanted a quick answer with what I'd be safe with and go from there if The 305's rub just a little I guess I'll go from there but would rather not do the roll and BFH trick lol. Thanks man

Well I got the new C6 wheels installed and they look great! Ended up going with 17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 out back. And i fit 315/30/18 Mickey's out back. Had to do some hammering but it wasn't really all that bad, just a few spots here and there. Really made the car stand out. Ill try and get some pics posted later for ya'll to see.
