I'm debating on trying to use them on my 18x9's. They look ginormous wide though.

BFGoodrich and tire Rack both say you should have a 10-11.5 inch wide rim for a tire that size.

A few people have said that you can do it but I don't know if I wanna risk it. They look awesome though. It makes the 265's look TINY.

That's pretty risky, I wouldnt put a 295 tire on anything short of 10" wide. It would look weird on a 9" rim, if they can even fit it on, and I think it would pose some safety hazard issues as well.

BullittPlaya, sorry if I offended you by getting a great deal on some tires. I could put them on but I think I'll probably just make a couple hundred dollars profit on them. I'm sure you don't understand that though. Jackass.

well,

to my understanding about reading tires, the 295 part is in mm. which means you convert that to inches you get 11.6 inches wide. So you are putting an 11.6 inch wide tire on an 9" rim.

Roush have 295s on 9s. I think itll work. My 275s are flush with the wheel once they were mounted but looked big before. I plan on 295s next. You also have a little more sidewall which helps. I think itll be fine.

295 should go on a 10" rim. Bulging sidewalls =

And if you think those are big, check out some BFGoodrich 315's.

Would the new Nitto's 308/35/R18 fit on our Roush wheels?

305/35's? Yes, I called discount tire a couple of weeks ago and they said they would fit, plus Nittos run a little narrower than most.....

Thanks for the info. I'm going to get the 305/3r for my Roush. I hope they will help me improve traction at the track.

Got any pics? Compared to your set-up, we are only talking about an extra 5mm of tire on either side of the rim, and you get a little more sidewall which helps. I still think theyll fit, and look good.

People put 275s on 17x8s and they look great, this isnt quite that dramatic but there is less sidewall...

Have you measured the inner lip width of the 295s compared to the rim?
