My wheel size is 18x11 rears and 18x9.5 in the front. I plan to run a 315/30R18 in the rear. I am considering going with 265/35R18 in the front. I have seen other builds use a 255/35R18 on 9.5 inch wheels.

My question is is there any reason I can or should not go with the 265 on a 9.5 in rim? I would appreciate any input / experience anyone has. The 255 makes a fairly flat wall. My thought was the 265 would bulge just a bit. Let me know what you think.

Thank you

Jesse, I just installed these 265/35's on the FFR 18x9's. I think they'd work well on 9.5's. Of course it can depend on the tire.

265 will be fine.
