Who thinks 285/40-18 is a terrible idea?
I'm considering getting 285/40-18s for 18x9.5 wheels but am concerned about increasing my tire height by 1.3 inches (from the 275/40-17s i have now). It would decrease my cruising rpm by 5% but would they just be heavy and not fit/look very good?

Yeah I want 285/35 or 275/35 but I'm kinda limiting myself to BFG KDW 2s. What I really want is 295/35 on a 10.5 wheel but I'm having trouble contacting tomzwheels and am looking towards LMPerformance because I need the wheels real soon, but they don't carry 18x10.5, except in C6 Z06
BBBBBBut ofcourse LMPerformance has to be closed this week just to make my life run smoothly.

i have 2854018 on a 18 by 9.5 mounted at work and it does look a tad tall but i want the bfg kdw and the only other size that comes in at is 2853018 on tirerack and thats too small of a sidewall for me

Yeah, that's exactly what my problem was I wanted BFG KDW2 and the tirerack sizes are limited to those. Other tire distributors have the other sizes though.
