My old camaro, 18x10.5's all around, 295 bfgs. No mods up front, bfh just a little in the rear. No poke, in fact they were still inside the fenders a bit. Perfect fit in my opinion.

Firebird's and T/A's have the same fenders, just different bumpers. The fenders on them do stick out a little more than they do on Camaro's though.

Ok I understand that the red one has ground effects and makes the car look lower on top of actually being lowered, but idc about how high the car sits from the ground, I'm worried about the gap between the quarter panel and the tires, I want it to look like that red one besides the ground effects and I'm afraid with 18s all around and 35 tall tires all around I'm still gonna get that gap and I don't really think my car can be lowered without making it very difficult to drive.

By "gap" are you concerned with clearance or appearance?

Honestly if you're worried about appearance and the gap difference is probably a half inch to an inch. Get over it.

Everything else on the exterior is okay to do for appearance pleasing. but wheels and tires should be done for function over aesthetic preference. Why did you want 19X10 or 18X10.5 for wheels cause it looks cool or you need the larger sizes and tire selection for better traction offered tires? It sounds like youre worried about the look of the wheels and tires on the car. Which no one on here can help you with cause its your car and your opinion.

well at first I was mainly worried about appearance which is why I was looking into 19's for the back since I saw a white TA with 19's on the back and 18's on the front and I loved it, but after hearing ya'll say that 19's ride rough, I got the idea of 18's all the way around with a nice 10.5" wide rim, after I get the whole tire/rim combination established i'm still somewhat concerned about appearance, I don't want that big gap between the wheel well and the tires, I guess I just have to cross my fingers and hope the car levels out pretty good with new rims and tires, if not then some eibach lowering spring are in order.

If anything lowering the car will bring the car to life with a lower center of gravity and give you the appearance you want. So its win win there. Also I would not recommend Eibach springs... Go with BMR, Hotchkis, Strano...Find Sam Strano on here I'm sure he has a good deal on springs.

I understand that, but then drivability will go down, having to worry if the front end will clear in certain places I go

anyone else got any input? pretty much set on 18x10.5's all the way around, either C5 deep dish or C6 z06 deep dish, with 295 35's up front, and either 295 35's in the back or 315 35's if I can get a decently priced non drag radial for the back in that size.

Anyone else?

If you're gonna run a 315 in the back go with a 315/30/18 BFG Gforce Rival.

295/35/18 front $290.00/each (4 rib design)
315/30/18 rear $318.00/each (4 rib design)

ok well, i'm still looking for rims, don't want to wait for OE to get rims in stock, what other websites would you recommend for 18" rims that would go good on this car in the 200-300 per rim price range?

You could probably get a pretty good deal buying a set of oewheels used. If you have to have it new, in that price range you could look at knockoffs like Varrstoens or XXRs. Those are very Chinese though and low-quality. If I were you I'd look for used.
