Default c6 wheels w/ eibach prokit

So i've done some searching on what wheels I want to get. I've decided on some C6 18x9.5 up front with 275/35/18 tires and 18x10.5 out back with 295/35/18 tires. As far as offset I've searched the forum and found 56mm to be ideal up front and out back with maybe a little BFH mod, and a spacer if I want them pushed out a little more. My question is, is that how would this run with the eibach prokit, The one that lowers it approx 1.2"? If it'd all work together, how do you guys think it'd work? Thanks, Brandon.

I have the pro kit bro. Although it was more like a 2" drop for me. I'm running the pro kit with ZR1's (17 x 9.5 up front and 17 x 11 out back). I'll be throwing on 315's once my P-Zeros are done. I think this combo is pretty safe. Just do the research and have a good time!

^why did you need a spacer? Was it because the tire size or the offset?

RIGHT,I said no adapter, and I dont see rubbing/rolling unless your car is whacked out or you get giant tires.
