Xsta Z...you really think they bulge?BFG's website says a 275 will fit a 9" wheel which the tires is 10.8"'s wide but a 295 will only fit a 10" wheel which the tire is 11.6" wide.so theres .8" difference in tread width but an inch difference in approved wheel width?so a 9.5" wheel is like .2" too small?

All Xsta is saying...at least IMO.. is that the widest tire a manufacturer recommends for a 9.5in. wide rim is a 275. Usually that means you can possibly go higher, but it will not be safe. The recommended max and minimum for wheel width is in place for a reason. That's not to say you can't do it though. I think I've seen a 315 on a 9.5 before.

Bulge has absolutely nothing to do with it. . . .
Manufacturers give minimum and maximum wheel widths for ALL tire sizes. They give those recommendations for a reason. Per BFG a 295/35ZR18 tire, the minumum wheel width is 10". Your wheels are 1/2" too small, thus are disregarding the manufacturer's recommendation. These simple round rubber donuts we all put on our cars are the ONLY things that keep our cars on the road and quite possibly the shiney side of our cars upright. . . .
And to me disregarding tire manufacturers recomendations is jeopordizing safety. And not necesarily YOUR safety but of everyone that drives around you. Tires can fail unexpectedly, improperly installed tires increase that factor . . . I don't like people being unsafe on the roads.
I'll climb off of my soap box. . . .
Pics look great thanks..
