Default 18x10.5's.....I have a question

I have some 285/35/18's Goodyear GS-D3's. will they fit ok on 10.5's? The GS-D3 are a little wider tire...so I hear. Any reply on this would be great.

Did a little research for ya. GS-D3's in 285/35 18's Sect. Width is 11.4in, Tread Width is 9.5in
Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercars 295/35 18 Sect. Width 11.7in, Tread Width is 10.2in
I know that the F1 Supercars fit straight up and down on a 10.5. So going by the sect. width the GS-D3's are a little narrower. But I don't think it's going to make that big of difference. I think they will look fine.
BTW how do you like your GS-D3's? I've got a set on the way. Are they as good as what everyone say's they are?

Yea man, I love these tires. They wear awesome!!! Im not easy on these tires at all and they have about 16k miles on them and still look pretty damn good. The traction in the rain and on dry streets is very good also, you picked a good tire.

Im going with the 10.5's then.

i have 10.5" rears with a 295/35/18 falken 451 tire, it fits really nicely. i think you could actually fit a 305 or 315 tire on them, but either way, you should be fine with that size tire/rim
