Post Widest Tires For 18 x 9.5 Rims

What are the widest tires (e.g. 305, 315, etc...) that would fit on the stock lightning rim?

Thanks,

Dave

This might help a little

or

Generaly the wheel should be about the same width as the tread. If the wheel is wider then you will always be replacing wheels every time you touch a curb parking. If the wheel is any narrower the tire will wander.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help Andy. I have called 3 different tire shops, and nobody knows the answer. They always tell me that they think that 295 is the biggest tire that would fit on a 9.5" rim, however, they are not sure. Now I know.

Thanks,


Dave
