Tires are too big for the wheels . . . 275/35ZR18 would be the BEST choice. Especially with running a 35 mm offset in the front . . . I would have run 45 mm on all four corners.

295's should go on 10" plus wheels . . . .

I don't understand why everyone tries to force tires onto the wrong size wheels.

Nice wheels nonetheless

The wheels look nice. But I agree that 275/35-18 is the best size for that size wheel. That's what I had when I had 18's.
