New Tires

[D94]

Hello all.
I am looking at tire sizes for my 73 Firebird. I have Us Mags Rambler 18x9.5 for the Rear, and I wanted to know if a 295/35/18 would fit? Most 295’s call for 10” wheels.Has anyone tried a 295 on a 9.5 wheel? Any input would be great thx...

I have 295 drag radials on a 9.5" rim - they fit fine. Ideally you would want a 10-11" rim, but 9.5" will work.

What is the wheel width range the tire mfg specs for your tire?

Not too many choices in my price range. The Nitto Invo is affordable, here are the specs :
295/35ZR18 HT Width Rim Size Measured Rim Tread Depth
99W SL BSW 26.02" 11.54" 10-11.5" 10.5" 10/32"

I know I can do a 285/35/18, but I like more sidewall and still be wide.

I think that may be pushing it a bit for a 35 series tire. I would run a 285 personally.
