275/35R18 would be perfect though.

Is 295 really too much?

i have 18x9.5 on all fours with 275/35/18. i think the 285 is the largest you can safely run. I plan on running some nitto DR 285/35/18 for the rears.

They require a 10" wide wheel, in the profile needed.

If 275/35/18 is good for a 18*9.5, then is a 295/35/18 good for a 18*10.5 wheel?
