Will these tires fit on the car w/o rubbing , i need help .
I currently have 275 35 18s and i wanna know if a 295 35 18 will fit on the car w/o hitting . I have 9.5 inch wide rims and a 5.5 backsapcing . I want a taller tire for when a drag the car . I think these are very close to hitting the lip as it is but im not 100% if its just the way these tires are or what . Anyone have any exp with this .

im sorry , i meant these are on the rear so i cant do anything with camber on a solid rear end . Im kinda concerned about rolling the lip . I dont know who can do it and i dont really wanna have to paint either.

try a 275/40/18. I put that next to my 295/35/18 and it was about an inch or so taller. The 295 is a bald Kumho MX and the 275 is a new Nitto 555, so I am not sure how much difference there is if both had new tires.

welli checked and the tires arent hitting the lip on the rear it looks like the tires are just formed like that . So thats good , but i would like to get a 275 40 18 since they will hook up better with the new hp .
