That's it [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!]

I have 275x35's and was looking for some reassurance to put 295's or something on it [Frown]

I have 295/35/18 Khumo MX's on 18X10.5" wheels and they fit like a tight glove. I think they should be fine on 18X9.5" wheels. I also have 275/35/18 Khumo Ecsta's on my 18X9.5" wheels and I think they are a little too narrow for the rims. 295/35's should work just fine on 18X9.5's, if anything they might have a slight bulge on the wall, but that would be worste case scenario.

I'm running a 285/35/18 on my 18X10's
You can run up to a 295 easily, just make sure it will clear [Wink]
