99 Firebird and Y2K Replicas... I've attempted to read the Sticky Posts...but I'm completely lost on this one...
I purchased 17 x 9.5 Y2K replicas for the front with a +53mm offset, and 18 x 10.5's for the rear with the same offset. I haven't attempted to put the rear's on yet, since it's still freezing outside. Can anyone recommend a tire size, for the front and rear? I was thinking Nitto 555's. I'm trying not to beat in my wheel well, but for the initial test fit, it appears if the jounce spacer might hit. Long story short...I saw 10.5s and I got excited...so now what do I have to do to make them fit.

I have 18x9.5 and 18x10.5's Zo6's and when I buy tires im going with 275/35/18 for the front and 295/35/18 for the rear. For the rear tire there isnt a huge selection for tires and I dont want to go with a D/R because I drive my car in the rain so I need somehing with a little more tread. From what I read 53mm offset rear wheels and a 295 size tire you dont have to do much BFH-ing. I will probably go with either Kuhmo Escta or goodyear F1's when I buy my tires in a few weeks.
