Default quick tire question

I was thinking of getting some new c5 deep dish wheels and was wondering if 285/35/18 will fit on the 10.5 wheel without looking stretched ?

all tires are different, but most people would run a 295/35/18 on a 18x10.5 rim.

Are doing C5 DD all around? If so they will work, but they could look "pulled" (tire talk for stretched sidewalls). I concur w/ OP on 295/35R18's, as they are a 10.5 designed rim width tire. The sidewalls will look fuller, and put less stress on the shoulder / belt package edges.
