Default 295 on 9.5?

Two quick questions, will a 295/30/18 fit on a 9.5x18 inch rim? And will i have any clearance issues without rolling my rear fenders?

295s are better on a 10.5" wide wheel. Will they fit? Sure, but they'll look a little too wide for the wheel. Just get a 275 instead.

Although 295s shouldn't require fender rolling unless the wheels are the wrong offset or something.

Either a 275 or a 285 is the most I'd do.

I ran a 295 on a 19x10 wheel it looked ok. I now run a 295 on an 18x10.5 and it looks great.

YES IT WILL FIT. Slight bulge (but we have muscle cars not ricer cars). Ive had 295/35/18 on a 18x9.5" rim with a 35mm offset. Didnt look bad at all. Absolutely no mods needed to fenders/ inner wheel well. My old car was lowered 1.75" Unfortunately i dont think i have pics of them. since i sold the car several years ago.

I've got 295/30 on 19/9.5. Fit's fine. Just put on strano springs the other week and no issue with fender clearance.....but that also has to do with the wheel specs.

Ive ran 285s on a 9.5 and it didnt have any bulge. 295s may bulge some.

295s bulge a little. I have a set on my OEM C5 wheels that are on my DD. They fit, but the rear offset of the oem C5 wheels tucks them in really far so they rub some at full compression.

How would a 295/30/19 fit on a 9.5 with a +40mm offset?
