im not 100%, but im getting 18x9's later this week and im getting 265/35/18 tires and thats is suppsosedly the best fit, if i were you i would go on a wheel/tire website, sometimes they have info on the tire sizes. i know that 265/35/18's can fit anywhere from 9-10.5, and my guess would be that 295/35/18's would be too big. hope that helps a little.

295's would bulge a litte, and I would go at least 275's, you can put those on 8 inch rims, much less a 9 inch rim

They will fit. Shouldnt have any problems. I've seen people put 305's on 9" and they work out fine. Personally I would look at tire rick and price new ones too. BFG are preatty cheap so maybe for a bit more you can have brand new tires.

BFGs run a little large. I personally wouldn't go bigger than 285s. Mountone up and see how it looks before you seal the deal. Worth the 15 or 20 bucks IMO....

Plan on spending $500+ if you go thru the Rack....
