I'm running 295/35 nittos on 18x10.5 wheels on all 4 corners of my Camaro. typically on an 10.5 wide wheel people run 285, 295, 305 widths for tires

Do you have any rubbing in the front running 295/35 because that what im thinking of getting on my 02 SS

only rubbing i had was on the inner plastic fender liner, which i didn't rally care about and let it clearance itself. there is more room for tire in the front than the back on these cars so had to do a little more massaging in the back to clear everything

Nice in that case thats what ill be going with on mines 18x10.5 on all four coners i was thinking of putting 18x9.5 with 285s all around but i see here that usually people use 10.5 for 285s

you can get away with a 285 on a 9.5 inch wheel, 275 is the suggested size so going up one size would be fine. a 285 might be a little stretched on a 10.5 wheel though, my 295's have an ever so slight stretch to them so i would imagine it would be a little more pronounced with a 285. if you want to go 285 i would say stick to a 9.5 wheel anything bigger than step up to a 10.5. honestly, i don't see many people running 285's on here and if they are they haven't posted it, its either 275's or 295's
