Good buy! You definately got a deal. They will fit the car, I'm also running 18x8 with a 4.5" BS in the front of my Z28. They will have a very close looking offset to the stock setup. To get them flush with the lip you might need to run small spacers, but not required for fitment. Check out this picture to see how the front wheel will sit in relation to the fender. Front tire is a 245/40/18.

I went with 245/40/18 on my 18x8. It was the closest to OEM dimensions according to all the wheel calculators floating around. You could probably run wider tires if you wanted. Maybe run some numbers through those calculators (google "wheel calculator") and see what happens.

I'd run the 245/40/18's also. An 8" rim is gonna be mostly appearance oriented anyway - and the 245's will look the best IMO.

Should look great! Don't bogart the pics when you get them mounted up!

Yeah, I'd run 245's all around with 8" rims. 275's is possible, but it's pushing it...particularly with such a short sidewall.

Aside from that, they will be less expensive than the 275's and perform just as well.

As far as brands, I had the Kumho's for awhile (275/35/18 on Z06 wheels) and they performed well for the price.
