I am running 265/35/18 up front and found a smoking deal on a set of 295/30/18..

Anyone else run this size on the rear? Any issues?...I do have some spacers if need be...

Thanks....

I run 305/30 18 r888rs on 18x10s with low pro irs bolts and a 5/16 spacer for extra clearance but I do have extended wheel studs. I'd say you'd be fine without the spacer but the low pro irs bolts aren't a bad safety precaution

I run a 295/35/18 on a 10" wheel no issues. 30 series will have a smaller side wall. Run the numbers and make sure the rear sidewall is bigger or the same as your fronts. You do not want a reverse rake from tire sizes.

Thanks for the reply...

Why do I not want a smaller side wall in the rear tires?

You do not want a smaller sidewall in the rear. It will look funny.

Here you go, this is the heights of the tires you plan on running. Your front tires will have a taller sidewall than the rears. You do not want that.

265/35/18 is 25.3" diameter
295/30/18 is 24.97" diameter.

295/35/18 is 26.13" diameter, This is what you should be looking for.
