No problems in the rear either. I have hotckis 2"coils 4" leafs, Front and rear sway bars and Caltrac bars.
10" is great for the 305. If you want to use the 295 up front perhaps intro could set you up wwith at least a 9" rim. I was going to go with intros and the customer service was awesome. Just couldn't afford it. I found the boyds locally.
good luck.

Jsmith along with some others(I can't remeber who) had them First.
I got some plans for my rims anyways, to set them apart this fall.
275/45-20 gtIIs are heavy by them selves so if you find a rim under 30lbs your still going to be heavier than stock.
Intro, boyds, billet specialties, centerline, Billet wheels etc are all about the same weight when it comes to 18's.
I really wanted Intros and I think Brian going to get some killer rims.

I wanted those Wheels for the longest time, But Bryan (Introwheels) gave me a good deal on his Twisted Vista II's with Tires. I have 18's for sale with tires if any one is interested!!
