Default Largest tire on 18x9.5"?

I have a set of replica Y2K C5 18" x 9.5"s (all four), and the idiot who sold me the tires, sold me 265/35R18's when they should've been 275/35R18's. Since these tires are 80% gone already, what would be a good, wide replacement for a 9.5" rim? I want to try to get the widest tire possible, and I do plan on lowering it with Sportlines later. possibly 295's?

um 285/35 or 295/35 should work...i think the recomended tire size for that rim is 275 or 285 but i'm sure you can fit a 295 without problems...

295/35AR18 requires a 10" wide wheel . . .

285/35ZR18 is the largest recommended tire . . . .

275/35ZR18 will look just fine. Thats what I run.
