Default Want these OE wheels but dont want use BFH. Will these fit?

I just got my Trans Am (Storm) registered on Wed 5/30/12 Best Bday present to myself and I want to get these rims from OEWheels

Corvette Wheels

I want to go 295 rear and probably like 265 front.
Do you think this would work without the BFH. Also from all the threads I've read thusfar these offsets dont look to good.

Thanks

Won't fit without BFH and possible fender rolling. 56mm offset is too much with a 10.5" rim, and then on top of that a 295 tire. If you go with a 9.5" rim you can fit up to a 285 tire, and should not require the BFH. Also, why 265 up front if you are going 295 in back? Stock ws6 is 275 all around even, and 275 is plenty for bolton cars and thensome. You would also need an adjustable pan hard bar to fit those 10.5" with 295's as well.

If you do go with a spacer, get the appropriate, longer studs; not a fan of spacers myself, but that is one way. IMO, just get 9.5" and run 275 or 285.

I had 275's all around on the maro they were nice but I wanted to go fatter in the rear with the T/A, I see others on here running 305's, 315's and even 325's so thought I'd be good with 295's. Would they work if the rim had a better offset? I was thinking about 275 up front but thought 265 might give me a little bit more of an oldschool look but still be wide enough for good handling.

Also FD don't think I forgot, now that the bird is on the road I have to try and get my buddy w/ his 68 bird and sometime so we can head up to CT and get you that lunch I promised you.

in the thread i linked to 350350 has some 295s on his 4th gen and seems happy. i think rubbing is a problem if lowered at all. http://www.camaroz28.com/forums/whee...4/#post6315982
