What is the widest tire that will fit on a 9.5 inch rim.
Im pretty sure they are 9.5 i cant remember, I do know that they are half an inch wider than my stock ss 10 spokes, so anybody can help me determine that. thanks

Anything wider than 285 is against manufacturer's recommendations, unsafe, and is pointless . .

bring back a dead topic......I currently have C6 Z06 wheels on the car (18x10.5 in rear)....looking at getting some TSW Snettertons with tax return and getting those powdercoated. I recently purchased new tires as well...Firestone Firehawk wideovals, which I've been told run smaller than advertised size. they are 295/35/18, will this be a problem on a 9.5inch rim? period?

IT WILL fit, bit is not recommended. I have 19x10 in the rear, and run 295/30/19. I MIGHT try out some 305's, but i'm not too sure about that. However, I run 18x8.5 in the front and have on 265/35/18, and I seem to be one of the lucky ones with no problems...yet...

I understand, just the thought of selling tires that I just purchased, losing money on those, then buying more tires = wasting a lot more money. I won't be doing an HPDE with them lol, I'll have an extra set of rims with tires just for that.

word 285 is the biggest i would go.

Then again, I've seen people run 305's on 9.5" wheels. I would HIGHLY recommend against that, but i'm just letting you know it's been done. Hell, there was a thread on here a while back about a mustang that had 8" wheels and had 315's on them. Lol. Looked absolutely RIDICULOUS!


Edit: Found the thread.

Edit 2: THIS is just as bad in the opposite way. THIS guy put 235's on a 17x11 wheel... (scroll down a bit to see pics)

same deal with the firehawk wideoval, the 295 is more like 285 so I should be fine.

I do hate that euro **** where the stretch small *** tires on a huge rim, I'm **** about **** fitting right lol, I just want to make sure. I also don't want to waste money and resources buying more tires too!

previous owner bought them as a rim and tire package.
