Re: will they fit?

Yes.... a 295/45-18 will fit on a 9.5" wide wheel, per the manufacturer's recommendations. The next question is what year car are you trying to put them on? They are 28.4" diameter, and for example, will not fit in the fender openings of a 4th Gen without major surgery. I run 28.1" slicks, and had to relocate the rear axle, and cut about 1.5" off the rear bumper cover.

Finally, questions about "wheels and tires" should be posted on (surprise ) the "Wheels and Tires" forum..... moving thread there.
