Default 18X9.5 Zo6 whls with 295-35-18 fit under 99TA?

I have a 1999 Transam and just bought a set of 18X9.5 replica ZO6 wheels and I am wanting to put 295/3518 tires on the back and am curious to know if they will fit. Any body done this or have thoughts on it? Thanks

295 doesn't fit a 9.5" wheel. Need to run a 10" minimum. 10.5" is recommended . . .

275/35/18 is the correct size for the 9.5". Are you sure you have all 9.5" since it is supposed to be staggered, 9.5 front and 10.5 rear, that is how mine are.

I have that size on 10.5's, and they rubbed under hard acceleration or cornering until I hammered in the wheel wells about 1/4 inch where the sheetmetal seam is. They fit real good now.

If your going to run 295/35's run 10.5 rims. This thread will help you out.
