Default whos running 305/35/18 proxes on their f-body

In the market to buy a set Toyo Proxes R888 305/35/18 in the rear and 275/35/18 in the front. My 02' SS is lowered with BMR springs and it also has bilstein shocks. Just want to get a good idea what I will be looking at.

I have those tires on my C5Z06 wheels (18x10.5) out back. They hook well but they are taller than stock - i think about 3/4" taller.

I had the exact tire sizes as you listed above on my 18" CCW wheels. My front tires were BFG KDW2's and Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial 2's on the back. You will have to definitely beat your inner fenders and roll your fenders. I had BMR lowering springs on the front but not the rear. I ran the factory rear springs with the heater hose mod. It will also depend on backspacing of the wheels too. I had 18x10's in the front and 18x11's in the rear.

Here are some pics.

My nitto nt555 rII in 305/35/18 are wider and higher than my old falken rt615 in 315/30/18. On my oem C5Z06 18x10.5, i was forced to beat the inner fender ALOT, cut the bump stop to make them fit on stock heigth but didn't roll the fender lip yet since it's look like it clear! Good luck with your project and don't forget to post pics when it'll be done!

I had to do the BFH mod to the inner fender and i had the fender lips rolled as well. other than that no problems - i had no issue with the bumpstops. I'm also about 1.75" lower than stock on LG Motorsports coilovers.

FYI - this set up is about 2.9% off from the stock sizing (height) which means the speedo will be off by this much as well.
