Question About Tires

is it ok if i fit 295/35/18 instead of the stock 295/30/18 at the rears? will the middle number cause any issues (35 instead of 30)?

Your car is AWD, correct?

No, it is not OK. Yes, it will cause issues.

ard is correct, don't do it. You will be asking for front differential problems.

X98boardwell is infamous around these parts
helping

Always look at the overall diameter of the tire. Tire Rack has this info along with the revolutions. These numbers will dictate which combinations of tire sizes you can use.

I had to remove my rear tires (when i purchased 19" wheels that were on a 997) because the revolutions were too far off which doesn't work for a 996.

Hope this helps,
Bryan
