Default Requesting some 18" 285's on 9.5 wheel

I see lots of 285s and 295's on 10.5s and so on. Does ANYONE have a 285 on a 9.5?

trust me and get wider rims/tires for the rear. you will regret it as your car will not look as tough from the **** end. Just do it right the first time, i wish i would have.

I do... These are old pictures, but the wheels look the same. What wheels do you have now? I might be willing to negotiate some sort of trade for what you have.

The wheels are 18x9.5 all the way around. The fronts are 275s and the rears are 285s.

Thanks but Im in love with the c6 wheels. I found 9.5s for about 3hun cheaper than 10.5 so Im wanting to see how meaty 285s are on them. Yours look good, them seem plenty wide. I wish someone had some rear shots.

For comparison though a 285 looks nothing like a 315. If that was my choice I'd definetly go with the wider wheels. My car just came with these so I didn't have an option.
