Default Nitto tire size inquiry

So I'm about to purchase the Chrome C5 deep dish OE wheels. They're 18 9.5 all the way around. I'm going to stagger the tires though. Because I'm doing this I'm looking at getting an asymmetrical tire so I can at least swap side to side rotation. I wan to run the Invo 295 tires but I keep hearing they run small. I want a solid, wide tire look on the back. Could someone please help elaborate more on how small they run compared to wall to wall width of other 295/35/18 tires and if anyone is running the same set up with Nitto Invo 295's on the rear pics would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Pics won't help with the small difference they would be. Nitto site says 11.54" section width where 3 different manufactures say they're 295's are 11.9" wide. So your talking about approx 3/8" narrower

One other thing. A 9.5" wheel will narrow the tire slightly more as the section width's I previously stated are based on 10.5" wide wheels. I think I read somewhere that for every 1/2" reduction in rim width from its measured, reduces the tire section area by .1".

So with all that being said. A invo on a 9.5" rim will be nearly 3/4" narrower then a BFG, Michelin, toyo, ect on a 10.5" wheel. And one of these tires on a 9.5" rim would be the same width as a Invo on a 10.5" rim. It's all relative.
