You'll probably want a 293/30, not a 295/35...

That's really too much tire for a 9.5" wheel (i'd want at least 10.5"), and you may find that a fender roll is necessary if you DO try it. Check the tire manufacturer's specs to make sure that isn't below the recommeded range for wheel width for that tire. I suspect it is.

I just told you:

295/35/18 is too tall... 26.1" diameter.

295/30/18 are the proper diameter, but are too wide for your rim. 295/30/18 require at 10" rim at the MINIMUM, and really ought to be on a 10.5 or 11".

275/35/18 is what you should be running. Daswassup.

lol^

yeah boyee, If you do this you will:
1) bottom out unless you raise the car
2) throw your speedo and ABS off
3) stress your tires and they'll look like dunkn doughnuts
4) most likely rub when the rear squats, due to the low offset

okay so i ended up going with 285/30/18

no problemo :)

I'll be posting pics of the wheels soon
hopefully by later tonight or tomorrow morning latest.
