Default Will a 295/35/18 tire fit 18x10.5 wheel?

Absolutely. That's what I'm getting for my 18x10.5 rear wheel. I believe that is the OEM size for a Z06 Vette.

How wide can you go on a 10.5" rim? Is 315 the max? or can you pack on another 20 mm?

Narrowest recommended wheel for a 335 is 11". Tire still rolls over edge a bit. I have 285/30 on a 18x11" wheel which is actually too narrow for the wheel. 285 to 315 works with a 10.5" wheel.

Just some basic info please. My 2000 has 17 X 8.5s and 18X 9.5s I think????? Is that the standard width? What do the numbers represent 245/45, I know one is height and one width? So 255 is wider then 245 and 45 is higher then 40?

So if I go to from 17s up front to 18s and have 245x17 x 8.5 and am going to 18x9.5 how do I know how wide I can go and how much I need to reduce the height of the tire to still fit? Btw going from 18 x9.5 on the rear to 18 x 10.5s.

thanks (does all this make sence?)

Greg, check out Tire Rack's website: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/tiretech.htm

The following tire size calculator might also be helpfull: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

18x9.5 wheels go very well with 275/35-18 tires. 18x10.5 wheels require 295/35-18s. You could also go for 19x10.5 rears with 295/35-19s.

Hope this helps! :)
