You will more than likely have rubbing issues, but without knowing the offset (I assume 58) you will rub the inner wheel well. I rubbed with 295's. Time for the BFH mod . .

you will need some sort of adapter with those wheels if they are the typical offset of the 10.5 y2k replica wheel (don't remember off-hand what it is)

I'm running 18x10.5 Z06 (+58MM offset) wheels with the 305/35/18 Nitto DR's. I needed the BFH mod with 3 MM spacers and ARP studs (for safety). The car is lowered 1.5" on QA1 shocks and goldline springs. It also has BMR control arms and adjustable panhard bar.

Lowered, you MUST have an adjustable panhard bar to make sure the rear is centered.

With a lot of BFH and the spacers, my tires clear well inside and just miss the inner fender lip without rolling.
