I just put 18x10.5 with 295/35r18 on my car and it seems like they stick out just a little bit. I was thinking about getting smaller tires. Any sugestions ?

U got fox lenght axles? What brand tire? Nittos, sumitumos and bfg's will run narrower than a same size goodyear. I say but some 275 or 285 nittos or get fox lenth axles if u want to have it right

I dont know what kind of swap I have . I have a cobra brake set up on it. I'm running 295 bfg tires.

That's probably why they poke out. The sn-95 axles are slightly longer than fox axles. Get fox lenght 5 lug axles and you should be good. Might require fender rolling. Cheap insurance so u don't chew up ur tires on bumps or hard corners.

You need the correct "backspaced" wheels to "correct" the issue.

So if I have a Fox lenght rear end w/ranger axles will the 18x10.5 fit or do I need to get a sn95 lenght unit.

Damn, are you sure you have 10.5? When I put on my boyds 18x10 on my coupe, there was no way i could put them on without removing quads.
