Can you fit a 265 35 18 on a 18x8 rim? I have a 245 and want to get more meat up front. I was looking at Tire Rack and they say a 265 fits a 9 to 10 inch wide. Seen a camaro with a 265 on 18x8 rim in super chevy mag but didnt know if it was a miss print and didnt want to order tires that wont work with my rims. Thanks for your time!

What tire brand? Some tires tend to run narrow. Id probably stay at a 255 max.

I was looking at TOYO R888 or BF Goodrich KDW2. Im trying to get a wider tire with out sending my rims in to be rehooped for a 9 or 10. But I want the car to be safe and ill do what I need to do to insure that. If you guys are saying stick with a 255 maybe I should for now.

Im trying to get as close to I can to get a 275 without rehooping. Is there that big of a diff between say 255/265 then a 275? Would hate to spend the extra money to get a wider rim if its not going to be a big advantage.

Again thanks guys for your help!

BIG difference in those two tires. You can cheat and put a smaller R888 on your car and have equal or better performance in comparison to the KDW.
