I'm running 255/35/R18 but I will get 265 in the future cause the rim sticks out just barely.

Are the 4 wheels the same offset, are you able to rotate the four wheels. I have 295 on my 18x9 rear wheel.

Yeh there all the same. You have different sizes on the front and the back, how do the 295's look on the back. I like a fat tire.
