285/35/18 on 18x9.5 wheel??
Trending Topics
I just put the 285/35/18 GSD3's on my camaro, and I've got quite a few rubbing issues on the front. The rims are Cragar SS with +36mm offset. The tire actually rubs the part of the bumper cover that wraps around the car into the wheel well, so when I turn the wheels, it pushes the bumper cover out...not good. I think I'll be able to work through it, but no luck so far and I've tried a couple ideas already. I just can't believe it made such a different, they are only .19" taller, and .39" wider...gotta be the offset!
I'm not really concerned about the fronts, but good info for others. I'll just be putting the 285/35/18 Nitto 555R's on the rear and keeping the 275/35/18 Nitto 555's on the front.

The height difference you are talking isn't much, so someone else will have to jump in and say if it is enough to mess you up.
You will also throw your speedo out slightly.
Good luck
Just a heads up

285/35/18 +38 squared, no rubbing issues. Firebirds have even wider fender/qtrs too
