Will 295s fit

Getting ready to place an order for 18" Chrome C5 DD..I want to get 18x10.5 in the rear. As much as i want to slap a 305 in the rear, i am looking at 295s.

Will 295s fit perfect with no rubbing or having to do bfh?

Thanks

ive got 295s on 19s in the rear, c6 corvette wheel spacing so I needed to use a spacer. They fit fine, do not rub or hit anywhere. I am also lowered like 1.5 below stock ride height.

I have 305’s on my 18x11’s with no rubbing. I’m actually going to be selling them to get 315’s.

depending on wheel offset you should be good, will be tougher if lowered. i have 295's on all 4 corners of my car and had to roll the rear fenders and do a little BFH but I'm lowered over 2" on coilovers
my wheels are 18x10.5 +50 and sit just about flush with the 1/4

Thanks hoke.. yeah im still at stock height and will be ordering bmr springs. Just hoping they clear. I think a 305 might be tougher fit.

315s fit fine in the rear, but you have to roll the inner fender. You've got a TA so even a bit easier than a Camaro, if the rumors are true. I get a little rub in the inside but only when I race (autocross) pulling big G's.

if nothing else you'll probably want to roll the rear fenders since you'll be lowering the car for peace of mind, don't want your brand new tires getting cut up by the fender lip

Ended up placing an order for the 18x9.5 C5 DD. I got 275/35 for the front, and 285/35 for the rear.

Hopefully i dont regret not going 10.5 in the rear with 295. I wanted to play it safe and knowing it will fit.
