Hell no. I'm running 265/30 on my 9.5". Wanted 275/30 but R888 doesn't come in that size.

A 305 looks perfect on a 10.5" wide wheel. To me I think a 255 looks stretched on a 9.5" wheel.

Slightly, but still very fine.

Here are my 285/315 set up. I have rubbing in front and am going to roll my fenders in a day or two when it isn't raining.

What are the offsets and whatnot? You may also have to cut the the plastic bump stop in the front fender liners. It's pokes down more than all the rest of the liner because that screw is under it. Most cut it some (like my friend) just let the tire wear it down after a few days of driving.

Nice 285s! I had to roll my fenders when I put on the 285s.

I run a 265/35 on a 9.5 and think it's proper. But I prefer a bigger sidewall. I have a 30 out back and want a 35 as well.

Your 30 series r888's do look dope tho man.
