I think it will but you might have alot of sidewall bulge, but I know you can fit 315/35 17 on a 17x9. If it is lowered the tire might be to tall because you havent changed your aspect ratio.

295 is really meant for a 10-11.5 rim, my firned had 285's on his 18x9's tho, so i dont know...but go with a 295/35/18 tire itll be more like what you have no, so your speed wont be off too bad

It will probably bulge a little and they are gonna be tall as hell. Might want to consider 285/35/18s
