Tire/Wheel Combo and Sizing
Tire/Wheel Combo and Sizing
Hey guys, I just went over the Wheel/Tire FAQ and feel confident that what I'm planning on getting will work but I just want to double check with some veterans.
I plan on picking up an 18X9.5 and 18X10.5 C6 Motorsport Style thats 5X4.75 and I'm guessing is 57/58mm offsets listed on the ad? (I see in the FAQ that 38-56mm I'm not sure how much 1 or 2 mm more will do?)
Here is the link to the wheels, they are at the very bottom of the page.

To go with those, I was looking at getting some BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2's. For the 18X9.5 I was thinking 275/35 ZR18 and for the 18X10.5 295/35 ZR18.
Here is a link for the tires, at tire rack.

I am thinking with the 295 there shouldn't be any possible fit/rubbing problems like with a 315, but I want to double check. My biggest concern is the larger offset than are recommended.
Any help/comments would be appreciative.
Thanks.
EDIT: Car is listed in Sig, no suspension modifications.

A 10.5" wide wheel with a 58mm offset works out to approx. 8.0" backspace. That's in the area where its going to be very tight against the inner fender and catch the edge of the jounce bumper bracket. The FAQ covers mounting the 7.93" backspace 17x11 ZR1 wheels. The 8.0" backspace just makes it a shade tighter to fit everything in against the inner fender.
