I have 8.5s in the front (the 245/35s) and 10s in the rear (285/30s)

Honestly man, for proper tire and rim size, I just go by what's posted by my tire manufacturer. I run Falken FK-451s, so if you go to http://www.falkentire.com/tires_451.htm and click on the "Click Here For Specs" button, it shows the list of tire sizes they have, and the accepted rim size for each.

According to Falken, for the FK-451 series, an 8.5" rim is ideal for a 235/40/18 tire, yet the acceptable range is 8.0" - 9.5".

I don't know about 295s, since they don't make anything larger than 285s, but for a 285/35/18, ideal is 10", acceptable is 9.5" - 11". For a 285/30/18, ideal is 10", but acceptable is 10" - 11". So I couldn't really tell you for sure about 295s, but it seems like a 295/35/18 *should* fit on a 10" rim. Looks like both your rims will be just enough... But I'd ask one of the resident tire & suspension gurus (in the suspension forum) to make sure...

I'm sure it will fit the rim..... I'm not sure if it will fit under the FD wheel wells front and back with out rolling the fenders......

What do you think?

I've heard 285s is the largest you can go on stock suspension. I have a pretty big gap in the back tho, so I'd think you could prob. sneak a 295/30. A 295/35, eh, I dunno. But seriously, I'm not the guy you wanna be asking about this. There are plenty of *much* more knowledgeable guys than me that you should be talking to.

Thanks for the info! It was helpful

too hung over to remember the other specs on the tires...

that should fit on the rear easily depending on the offset of the rim....
