Default What is the widest tire I can put on a 18" x 9.5" ZO6 Rim?
Currently have 275/35/18s, could I go 285 or 295 on a 9.5" rim????

You could go 285 maybe but a 295 might be pushing it...although I do know someone that put the new BFG drag radials on his stock 18x9.5 C5 rims but it's not an ideal fitment.

295 tires require a 10" wheel - minimum.
