Default Q?Widest rear Tire on 18x9.5 +45

I have a pair of rear wheels in size 18x9.5 ET +45. I plan on wraping them up in 275/35 does any one object?

The front is 18x8 ill be wrapping those in 235/40 does any one object?

an objection seems irrelevant if you're asking for appropriate tire width per wheel, however I'm comfortably running 265's on my 18x9 rears and could have easily gone to a 275. having that extra half inch of width you should have no issues running 285s, let alone 275s.

I am about to buy 275/35s for 18x9.5s in the rear, thats the proper tire size for that width. And with the high offset you shouldn't rub. 235/40s on the front works as well.

You can even install a 305/45R18 on a 9.5" wheel . It all depends on the use and power level of the car.
