Question 275 and 295 tires on a 9.5" wide rim?

long story short. my current wheels wont fit my new CTSV brakes (18" x 9&10" AR Rebels)

ive got 275/35/18 on the front and 295/35/18 out back

im looking at a set of Corvette Spyder 9.5" wide rims for front and back. since my tires still have 90% tread, id like to save some money and see if I can reuse my tires.

will 275s and 295s fit on a 9.5" wide rim?
car is a road race and autoX track car. sees little to no street time.

thoughts?

I run a 275 and 285 on 17x9.5" wheels and both look/fit perfectly fine.

Unless the slightly shorter sidewall of 18" 35 series tires comes into play I would expect you are good to go.

I have 285/35/18's on a 9.5" rim and they fit fine. The 275's will fit for sure. I'm sure the 295's will TECHNICALLY fit but I don't think they're really ideal for a 9.5" rim though.
