on a 18x9.5 wide wheel in the back at 22mm offset could I run a 295/35 tire? or should I just stick with a 275/40? I would like to have the 295/35 if I could. would be a nice meaty tire to have in the back of it. I'm going 245/40 in the front I think. that's on a 18x8.5 though.

those size tires should be fine.

ok. I had to ask. didn't want to spend 270 dollars a piece on tires just to have them rub like crazy.
