Default Rear 295/35/18's

I am currently running B.F. Goodrich 255/40/18's at all four wheels ans was wondering if anyone is running at 295/35/18 on the rear with this make. Obviously I would need to change from my factory 18" fan blades, but I was wondering if they will fit without rubbing and without sticking out past the fenderwell, and if so, what is the offset on the wheel you are running. I would like to stick with a 18" rim size rather than going to a 19" or 20".

no one has responded but I believe they will fit just fine. Go to tirerack.com and they can help or discount tire

According to this thread....

...people are running 295/45/18s....and that is a taller tire (but just as wide). I would think that 295/35/18 wouldn't be a problem.

I have 295/35/18's with a 42 mm offset. Atleast thats what it says on the box. They stick out 1/8" or less on each side. I have only heard rubbing under extreme corning when things are flexing. Even then it was very minor.
