I just got my 295/35/18's from fedex, HOLY GOD

[Wi-Stanger]

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

 

[new22003]

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

 

[xomp]

i run those on my 18x10.5s, yay.

 

[Wi-Stanger]

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.

 

[Craig Mack]

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]

why the he** did you buy em if you knew they wouldnt fit your rims? some people

 

[Wi-Stanger]

I got a deal.

 

[BullittPlaya]

oh that's good, not enough info to begin with.

 

[Wi-Stanger]

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.

 

[Bornstanger]

ah don't mind him, he keeps getting banned because of his jackass attitude anyway. i think this is his 3rd of 4th name now.

 

[chef_333]

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.

 

[GinoGT]

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

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

The 295's are mounted on 10" rims on the rear....

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.....

 

[BadMoFo]

what brand of tires are those? I run a 285x35x18 on my 18x9 in rims and they look good, cant be that big of a difference between 285 and 295 right?

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.

 

[Firemanz]

MKake sure you post pics dude!!!

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?
