I'm looking to get bigger rear tires. I'm currently running 18X9 around, and will the 295 series fit those? or do I need the 18X10

Ehh I wouldnt think so... 295mm is 11.5 inches.

My front wheels are 9" and I have 255's up there. My rear are 10" with 285's...

I wouldnt even want to try, lol.

you could force them on there, but they'd bulge and may not be 100% safe, and you wouldnt actually be gaining grip/extra rubber contact to the ground.

295's are too wide for a 9" width wheel. Even my 9.5's max out at 285 IIRC.
