This is probably the best one I have. It's a 295/35/18 on a 9.5" C5 wheel.

Here's another:

Re: any1 running 295 on 9.5" rim?

a 295/35 will fit with not much buldge. well that was the case last week when i mounted up a used 295/35/18 toyo on my 9.5 wheel. Problem with me was it didnt appear any wider than my 275/35/18 yokohama, and the extra sidewall height turns me away from that size as well

I also tried to mount up a 295/30/18 pirelli...I couldnt get it to seat the bead and air up, and it already buldged out badly

I live in St. Cloud currently. I'll be graduating from State soon, so I'm not sure where I'll go after I graduate.

Re: any1 running 295 on 9.5" rim?

hey black Z, hate to go off topic, but what kind of headlight blackouts are those? i havent seen any that dont wrap all the way around to the black semi-circle on the front clip, looks like those cut off with the hood lines. maybe those would look better than the AVS ones i had when i first got my car, i liked em in a picture on my car, but on person they looked awful, kinda bug-eyed cause they bulged out if i get blackouts i want a clean look, unless im mistaken and those arent blackouts at all 0_0

I got the blackouts from Jegs about 4 years ago. They're made by GTS. I don't know if that company is still around or not.

jegs old ones used to wrap around... then couple years ago they started making them cut like that... im pretty sure u can get them at any autozone too..

ohh and if u arent into the velcro i found if u mount the velcro tabs and pull off the velcro there is a hole.. place ur covers where they would go and mark the hole on them... tape it and drill it out then just use a black panhead screw and some winguts underneath.

holds the blacksouts on and no one can pull them off unless u pop ur hood to unscrew the wingnut
