Tire size question I tryed looking this info up on the tire size calculator but still need some help.
Im ordering the C6R Motorsport wheels with 275/35/18 for the rear and 245/40/18 in the front. is this going to fit correctly or will I have to do the bfh mod to roll the lip? Im ordering the wheels and tires from Discount and they said they have 18x9.5 and 10.5.
Thanks

Well a 275 will fit fine out back and should require any mods. However if your getting 9.5" rims up front and 10.5" out back, youd prolly want wider tires like 265/275 up front and like 295/305s out back. Id look into the Nitto 305/35/18's for out back if you want a nice tire, but 305s may require a bit of BFH, not sure. Someone chime in. But 275s out back shouldnt be a problem but if its on a 10.5" rims, id go wider tire

275's fit just fine without any mods, I have 275/35/18's on all fours and they fit just fine, I wish I would have bought wider rear rims, b/c I would like to put 305's but I think I am stuck with using a 285, b/c nitto doesn't make a 275 for an 18 inch rim

I have those exact wheels, 18x8.5/18x10.5, 275/35/18 front, 315/30/18 rear.
Tires I run are michelin pilot sport ps2s.
If you want to run 315/30/18 on the rear of an f-car, order ARP wheel studs and run like a 3/16" spacer on the rears, bfh the inner fender, for camaros roll the outer fender also.

I wouldn't run a 245 on a 9.5 inch wheel, that tire is way to skinny and would look VERY silly.
Best tires to run: 9.5" w/ a 275/35ZR18 front and a 10.5" w/ a 295/35ZR 18 rear , thats what I got.
