  • 295's on a 9.5" wheel?

    18x9.5 w/ a 295/35/18. My vette buddies say it's dangerous. I think they are pussies. Thoughts?

      I run 305's on an 18x9.5 wheel with zero issues. ON my 3rd set already.

                Oh they're saying you need a 10" rim. Most vette guys don't know shit about anything besides the best labor rates in the area.

                    Lol well I'm going to try some 18" staggered FR500's on the 69 and was looking at tire sizes.I've got some 255's but I'm pretty sure they won't be wide enough for a 10" wheel.

                      oh damn no way. A 10" wheel is like a 275 minimum, or you'll look like the local dallas thugs with rims sticking out of their tires.

                        Its not what I wanted, but to buy two I had to get 4, so I have 2 extras. How wide sould I look at for an 18"x10"?

                          Well 295-315 seems to be the standard.

                              The tires were free(used off the back end of a Viper) and my brother was a tire-monkey at the time - so we wrestled them onto the rim and threw them on the back of my 77 Chevy LWB. It took about 45 minutes per tire to put them on and almost double to get them off!

                              The sidewalls angled in at almost 45*!
