Why would you stick a 265 series tire on a 9.5" wheel???? I have strong feelings you will be dissapointed with the look. A 275/35ZR18 tire is identical to OEM overall diameter, and you will be done . . . .
FYI a 265 is 10.4" wide and a 275 is 10.9" wide.

check the diameter of the new wheel and tire compared to the old. If it's very close, you don't have to worry about the speedometer. Thats usually only if you increase the diameter of them both, since most people usually increase the wheel size and decrease the tire profile, the speedometer is not often a problem.
Well I got the wheels & tires on the car today,they were on for about 5 min & I took them off.WRONG tire,it seems to fit the width of the rim ok but the side wall is way too short.
I couldnt leave them on looking like that so I took them off,atleast till I get it lowered.
