Will 305 rears fit on a Third Gen

I have an 86 Z28 that I am restoring. I would like to throw Nitto 555R II tires on the back. HERE is a link to the tires I am looking at.

If I get these, will they be able to fit on my 86 Z28? The rear rim sizes are 18x9.5. I also have a mosher 12 bolt.

Also, will spacers be needed and if so, does anything think it will stick out too far and just be ugly?

Nitto's approved wheel widths for the 305/35ZR18 is 10"-12" wide with 11" being prefered. The 285/35ZR18 has an approved wheel width of 9.5".

Good Point.... I didn't even think of that. Guess I'm just gonna have to be happy with the 285s.

Thanks a lot for the help!!
