265/35-18 on 18x9 wheel

This summer when I replace my tires I was thinking of going with the 265/35-18's over the 245/40-18's like I have now. Any problems on running the 265 on the 9" rim???

No problem at all.

That's a decent size to run on a 9" rim.
I ran at 285 on a 9" rim and it's no problem.

Make sure you're rear fenders are rolled, if not rolled. Make sure you're a little camber in the rear if you have coils so you don't rub, if you DO NOT have your rear fenders rolled.
And on your front fender, you should be fine, unless you're low up front as well. if you're low and you have coils, go a little negative and you'll be okay.
But basically it's always nice to have all 4 fenders rolled for anything pass 255 tire.

If you have any questions on the wheel fitment/tire size, fender rolling/ etc. Just PM me.
Thanks!

Been running that setup for a couple of years now. IMO one of the best looks for an Evo. Rear fenders will most likely require rolling (mine did), fronts should be fine.

I would say that rear would need rolling! and maybe a bit of camber

I was also wondering this except on an 18 x 8.5 wheel.

265 -35-18 too much?
