Right I understand the rims would fit my main concern was if the 1.35 inch drop would be to low

Are they Z06 rims? If they are you might have a rubbing issue in the rear. Z06 rims have an unfriendly offset for fbodies, and when combined with an 18 inch rim they can cause issues with a 275 or wider tire.

I run the same wheels with only 1/4" spacer on the rear. It only rubs if I corner really fast and hard but it could probably be fixed with the BFH mod
