Default 295/35/18 on a 9.5? Pics?

Will a 295/35/18 fit on a 18x9.5 and if so does anyone have any pics of such.

I think that size will be to big of a tire to fit on the rear without doing the bfh mod. I've got a set of z06 wheels in 17x9.5 w/285/40/17 and 18x10.5 w/ 295/38/18. The fronts fit fine but rears need the bfh mod that I really dont care to do. If this does not work out I'll sell for a new set of wheels and tires.

Thanks for any input given.

So are you saying you want to buy a set of 18x9.5's for the rear or what?

Sorry if I was unlcear i have a staggered set already with the tires but would like to transfer the 295/35/18s to a 9.5 wheel on the back if possible and do a slightly smaller size 18 on the front. But if it doesnt work I'll sell the set9wheel and tire) and and get a new set

I think 295 on a 9.5 is too big!
I have 285 on a 10" rim and 295/305 is about the max on that.

i was thinking the same but was just curious to see if others had that setup and if so what they thought. To the for sale section they go then.

295/35R18 wheels have a 10" wheel minimum width per manufacturers . . .

But one can always be careless and shove too big a tire onto too small a wheel . . .

A buddy of mine has Nitto 305/35/18 on a 9.5" rim and it fits fine, not to much sidewall buldge at all. Im putting a set of 295 DR's on my 9.5" rim once my rear tires wear out.
