Default Wheels questions, opinions wanted.

I am thinking about getting a set of Ruff Racing R280 18X8.5 front, 18X9.5 rear for my stock ride height bright teal metallic 95 z28. I am not afraid of the BFH mod. Has anybody tried these wheels? Anyone know the offsets available. If so what offset will fit best? Will 315s fit on the rear with BFH? Any opinions on how they will look? Thanks for any input.

Here's a link to the wheels:

i'm not sure if they make a 315 in an 18 in wheel. however, even if they do, they will not fit on a 9.5 inch rim.
that is a gorgeous rim though.

I just mounted Ruff 278s 18x8.5 (35mm) up front and 18x9.5 (45mm) rear. With those offsets they fit perfectly. I'm not as wide as you on tires (275s) but there is good clearance on the inside and niether will interfere with the fender lips.
