Default 18x9.5 front 18x10.5 rear..?

Is 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 a good set up..? I was thinking of 275 front and a 305 or a 315 rear, will this just bolt and go without having to do any modification? Im also planning to lower my car later on (pro-kit). Majority of the shops i asked they said it's not going to work, it will rub. Anything i need to do to make it work?

The bigger question is WHAT WHEELS???? If you shell out the cash for custom made wheels, virtually "anything" will fit . . . .

So you are looking at Z06 replicas . . . . You didn't origianlly state that.

295/35ZR18 will work great for the rear on a 18" x 10.5" wheel. I've seen offsets as low as 53 mm for the Z06's, but they are hard to find. 58 mm is typical, and will require the BFH inner wheel well mod, or spacers. I feel a 1/2" spacer would be a great look, but would require new longer, stronger studs.

The 18" x 9.5" typically come in 57 mm, but again I have seen 53 mm which would be better. They fit with no mods although for looks a small 1/4" spacer would help.

No. 38 mm is the minimum that fits.
