Hello, has anyone fit a 295/30/18 tire on a narrow body on a 11 wheel?
285 not offered in the tire im looking for, only 295.
Thanks in advance!

Wayyyyyyyyy to big of a wheel and tire!

Too big

I run a Rear 285/30 18 on a 10.5 inch rim with no rolling of fender but that is close

Yes depending on your offset. I had a buddy with a C2 running 295/30/18 but his wheel offsets were just a little too aggressive. Of course your inner clearance will play a factor and the amount of room you will have will depend on the suspension you are running. Additionally, the rear geometry of your suspension has an impact as well. Wheel/combos and their usability depends a lot on the offset, suspension setup, and if the fenders are rolled.

As an aside, Michelin 4Ss are now available in 285/30 and I can't think of a better street tire.

Plenty of NB 993s running 295/30/18 on 11" wheels.

Your offset will give context to this.

I run a 295 on a ruf 18” rear with slight rolled fender and a custom spacer. It’s possible

Speaking from personal experience? I ran 295/30-18 on 11” Fikse on a C2 no problem at all.

targa- make sure you have the right offset.

Offset is key. Most won’t take on a RS height and lower on 275/35 without a roll. You’ll need to roll the fenders with a VERY competent shop that will take their time and not crack the paint.

I am running the same.

The Cargraphics are - 10.5 x 18 x 59et, but with a greater offset, 295's would easily fit.

However, you have to measure and make sure the tires are their stated size. Several months ago I bought 295 Bridgestone SO4's. When they arrived, they looked absolutely HUGE. I measured them, and they were 325's despite the sidewall displaying 295.

Here are 285 Bridgestone SO4's which measured 285, no rolling or rubbing:

We do look about the same no rolling of fenders

SwayBar

Those wheels look great, what are the rear offsets?

I’m pretty sure @RichPugh ran 11s with 295 on a narrow body Iris Blue car. Search for some threads he started and I bet you can find his specs. Pretty aggressive alignment/camber as well.

Thank you Front 18X8 offset 45



Rear 18X10.5 offset 55

Here are the specs comparing a known max fitment on the left and one of the suggested 295 fitments on the right, the issue w/ 285 on the left was a minor roll to the left rear wheel arch lip, the issue w/ 295 is illustrated in red, compare the #s

the left 285 setup has no ride height restrictions but is used w/ a stiff track suspension and track oriented alignment

the 2 issues that crop up w/ max 993 fitments in bact are drivers side(left) wheel arch and passenger side inner fender(right) wall
w/ a symmetric 285/30 on 10 ET65 there is virtually no more clearance at either spot, but as mentioned the left lip will need to be clearanced on a low car

the 295 also costs ~10lb-ft of torque which is noticeable

I ran 225/40 front on 18x8.5 et41 and 285/30 on 18x11 et60 on a fairly low NB 993.

I run 265's on the rear on 10x18 twists. Great looks and performance.
