C6 18x9.5 rear tires on an 88 T/A
Hey guys, although I cruised the threads on fitment for my car, it seems conflicting at best lol.
What is the widest tire I can run on this rim and mount on a third Gen rear end without beating any wheel wells or rolling any fenders.
I understand I'll have to run 2" spacers. Really appreciate some insight.

So I've got it in my head that I want to run 295/35/18's... If I go to a 2.25 wheel spacer will it be fit? Or will I have to beat fender wells?

its not that you can't fit a 295. I run them on the rear of both my cars. Difference is I run a 10.5 rim on one and a 11 on the other. Biggest tire I have put on a 9.5 is a 285 but it was on a 17 rim with a little more sidewall to give.
