I pesonally do not like the look. F-Cars need the OD of the tire to be close to the same, or the ABS computer will get upset. . . . So to do that the side wall of the front tire is taller than the rear tire . . .

So my honest opinion is 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear!

as long as your tire height is close your good. Wheel size has nothing to do with it it overall height. I had a friend that had the same size wheel all the way around had is front tires shorter then rear and when he would go around a corner with traction control on it would said low trac. But that didnt really matter he just turns it off every time he gets in the car anyways. Yes 295's are a little taller then 275s but i have put a ton of miles and had to slam on brakes a few time and same a stock no change

Looks horrible most of the time. Fill your wheel wells out with 18s and get a nice kit to make it all sit right (fender gap wise).
