Tomzwheels I'm looking at doing his Chrome Z06 18x9.5/10.5 combo but noticed the offset on the 10.5's are +58mm. That offset won't work with a 295 tire out back will it? I don't mind doing the bfh mod, but don't want to have to roll the fender lip.

I had 18x10.5 +58mm wheels on the rear of my 2002 Z28, with Kumho Escta MX 295/35/18 tires with no inner fenderwell mods needed. I did have an APHR though, and it was CLOSE, like 1/16" or so, but they never rubbed. No bumpstop issues, either, just had to jack up by the rearend to remove the wheels/tires, if I jacked the car, the rim would hit the bumpstop. Stock height fwiw.

Well my main concern is that when I lower it, it will have multiple clearance issues. I wanted to run the 295 but it seems as though I may have to go with the 285 and ask for a +56 mm offset. What do you guys think?
