The rear has a 5.5" drop with 295/40/20s on 10" wide wheels and 5.5" of backspace.

I’d say you made a solid choice. Same tire sizes...

Perfect tire sizing in my opinion. Looks awesome.

Plus, if you look at the tire sizes recommended for wheel sizes, those sizes set exactly in the middle for 10 inch rims on the back, and 8 inch on the front?

Just asking....

This is what I went with as well. Those sizes are also used on the Challenger SRT8 (245/45) and Hellcat (275/40), so between that and the Camaro I think I'm set for there being a long-time supply of sticky matching rubber.

295/45/20 and 255/45/20

68 (early / more narrow housing and 73-87 front suspension) 20x8.5 on the front, 5 3/8 BS. 20x10 on the rear, 5" BS.

The best 20" tire combo I like is:
Rear: 295/40-20
Front: 255/45-20

Examples:

Some people are going up to 295/45-20 in the rear which I really like but have heard there can sometimes be slight rear rubbing when entering a driveway.

Here's an example, but I don't know how he fit the front tires in there!
20x8.5 with 4 3/4" BS front with 265/50/20s
20x10 with 5" BS in rear with 295/45/20s

Just a note, I built that black GMC. It was 20x8.5 with 5.25" BS and 20x10 with 6" BS (3/8" spacer) wide housing. 295/45 and 255/45. ** I sold the truck, I no longer own it. Just saying, I setup the wheel sizes and tires. Only for visual reference and anyone looking for 45s **
