295/35/18's on 18x9 rims,, can it be done????

[TargeT]

I've heard yes a lot, but ive given it to two different shops and they say that tire size wont fit on these rims

i even tryed to help on one, the first bead went on fine, but the 2nd one wouldnt fit in, we even stood on the tires to try and get the bead to go in

is there a trick to this?

i've had these damn rims and tires for 3 weeks now help!!:cryying:

i have 305/35/18 on 18x9.5 cobra R rims with no clearance problems what so ever

 

[SALEENNOTCH]

they fit , check my homepage.....lol

 

[TargeT]

the issue is getting the rubber ON the rims, not fitting them under the car

I have that size on my 18x9 rim. I also have 305/30/18's on18x9 rims.

What tires are you using?

 

[Evileyes]

I have 18x9 rims as well, I'm thinking of going with 295/35/18 Toyo T1-s tires. Will these fit?

 

[TargeT]

I have BFG KD's (295x35x18 --> 18x9 rims)

I guess the tire people i'm going to just aren't as skilled as i thought ... lol

Just waiting to hear that so I could place my order. Thanks.
where did you get your tires put on?

 

[TargeT]

the problem is no one has been able to fit the tires on the rims yet.......

I have BFG Drag Radials in that size. No problem at all. I have 305/30/18 Hoosiers on 18x9's. No problems.

Had 295/35-18 BFGs on Roush 18x9s on my 95 Cobra. They fit, but they did bulge noticeably from the rim.

your tires are fat tires....fatter than a toyo or hoosier would be....they mite not fit

screwed again by alaska

 

[Serpentor]

you dont want too much wider then the recommended size. it wont help your traction too much because you will be bowing the tread too much. All you'll get is "squishy" handling

 

[TargeT]

found a guy who can do it, he warned me that the middle tread will wear faster, but otherthan that its np

 

[TargeT]

well i had thought i found a guy

this must be alaska screwing me.. lol

gonna give another guy a shot.. he's the tire "mastah" lol
