Default Any mods to fit a 295\35\18?

alright, my car has a 1.25" lowering kit, im getting a ADJ panhard rod.

what i have to do any fender rolling (please no) or hammering (not a big deal) to make these wheels fit? 295\35\18 BFG drag radial.

and also, if i ran a 275\35\18 in the front would it look funny having less sidewall? should i run a 275\40\18? or like a 265\40\18 to try and match it up.

let me know what you guys think.

BFH= Big ******* Hammer....

I love that acronym lol. So Im assuming your saying you wanna run 17's in front and 18's out back. With that size tire you should have no problem seeing a sidewall, its not too small......I would run that size in the rear and 275/40/17 in the front. As far as rims go, ZO6's pull that look off pretty good and Y2K's as well.

im getting the American Racing Rebel Chrome Plated 18 x 10. 30mm offset, 5x4 1/2 bolt pattern , and 6 3/4 back spacing. (i think thats the sizing) then ill run a 18x9 in the front.

i was thinking going if i run a 255\40 in the front, the sidewalls will be pretty close to being identical. 295\35 and 255\40

id like to keep the same size rim around, i dont really like the offset look. would the sidewall look dumb being only a 35? im trying to find pics of what itll look like, imo a 275\35\18 looks dumb. but i think a 295 will be close to the 275\40 so i mean, it should be okay. right?

i have no problem running 17's cheaper tires and rims that way but i want it to look sick.

I run 275/35ZR18 front and 295/35ZR18 rear with an adjustable panhard.

When I ran 58 mm offset 10.5" wheels, I needed some BFH.

Now that I run 38 mm offset 10.5" wheels, I needed to roll the passenger side quarter.
