+38 offset.

Do those wheels come in a 114.3 spacing?

In all honesty I've never been a big fan of the f-body cars.

Qcon, yours looks freaking amazing!

That looks about like the perfect stance. I'm considering a +40 offset now in c6 replicas. A few people are telling me to get the 56 offset though.....

Ill admit they do look a little big for a 9.5 rim, but not too bad. Havnt put them on the car for any driving experiences yet, but I think the supercar F1s are a bit wider than the BFGs Qcon is using. When I had 255s on my 16x8 salad shooters they felt floaty compared to 245s, I hope thats not how these feel.

Did you guys have to roll fenders or BFH your inner walls to clear your 295s? I test fitted last night with the suspension not at ride height and mine felt verrrry close to the inside even with my fender wells pretty bashed in when I was clearing 27x10.5s. I couldn't quite eyeball the outer fender lip but it looked kinda close too. I have BMR springs with the rubber isolator on it.

I have tapped in my inner fender wells a bit. But the stock SS 17's rubbed on my car when it was worked hard. Outer lip has not been touched.

Finally got mine on, 295/35 eagle f1 supercar, 5/16 spacer in rear have about 1/4 inch between inner wheel lip and bumpstops at full droop but at normal ride height the bumpstop is within the diameter of the wheel so tons of clearance unless I dukes of hazard it, front currently no spacer and less than 1/4 inch between upper balljoint, will add a 1/4 or 5/16 up front before any real driving.

The ONLY thing I never liked about those C5 wheels is that little cutout on the spokes near the rim.
IF it weren't for that, a set would be on my car as we speak, in charcoal/graphite/competition grey.

I have to say though that those do look very good, probably because the black paint makes that said cutout A LOT LESS noticeable.

Thanks! Im pretty happy with them, havnt been able to put too many miles on them tho as the rear I bought on craigslist has a wicked whine whenever Im accelerating, so I need to investigate that this weekend. I did take a 90 degree turn at 40 tho and it handled it like a CHAMP

a small spacer should make it fit perfect! i run 315 on a 10.5 so there shouldnt be an issue on a 295 for a 9.5''

How stable do 295's on a 9.5" rim feel at high speeds around 130-150mph?

Haven't been able to go over 30 yet as my Craigslist rear was set up wrong and has a howl on acceleration. This size was not my first choice, only put them on because I got all 4 for $150 and needed something I didn't care about destroying as I learn how to race road course. On frrax a lot of guys use this setup for autocross. I don't think ill get to 130-150 ever because VIR isn't neuremburg, and I don't **** around on the street.

255s were floaty on my salad shooters too, even around low speed turns, these feel great so far.

so heres my setup 18x9.5 on 295/35 kdw 2s with the 56 mm offset fenders rolled but no bfh mod yet, thinking about adding a half inch spacer due to inside rubbing, any suggestions on that?

Tap where it rubs with a hammer.

AGREED!!

I really don't see how he could have made a better looking choice in; wheels/tires, wheel color, or car setup at all!!!

295s on the front 335s on the back kdw2. The front wheel wells need to be pushed out alittle cause would scrap turning the wheel to lock.
