Would 265/35/18 fit on a 18x9 rim without any problems on a stock suspension setup for the rear? Any info would help. Thanks

Thanks for the replys, what do u think would be a good match for the front if I went with 265/40/18's on the rear? The offset would still be 38 mm. Thanks

Yeah, I know I need to go skinnier in the front, but what dimensions should I go with if I went with 265/40/18 in the rear. I just want a good quality match for the front. Don't know how it will affect the ride. Thanks

The 265/40/18 is 1.7" taller than a stock tire size and 1.3" taller than the 265/35/18 you started with.



Use the 35 profile unless you are only using the 40 because that's what a BFG drag radial comes in.



There are plenty of tires available in the 35 profile otherwise. (more than the 40)



You can use the Tire Rack to find reccomended fitting of front / rear fitments.
