996 C2 Tire size options

Hi guys!

I'm running 225.40.18 fronts and 285.30.18 rears...

I want to run 235.40.18 fronts and 295.35.18 rears on 11" rear wheels instead of the 10" I have now.
The offset for the backs are 63 instead on the 65 but they are 1" wider.
Do you think that would be a problem?
Also, how about 285.30.18 vs 295.35.18? would that 35 affect performance/readouts in any way?
Thanks!
joel

c2mojo will become famous soon enough
235/40 and 295/30 are the way to go. Stay away from the 295/35. Not the right size

Here are the tire size and offset calculators: http://www.1010tires.com/tech.asp
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos

The 295/35s are going to be too tall IMHO. The correct size would be 295/30s. I run 295/30/19 with 11" rims and think the 35s would rub. The offset should be fine they are only 2mm different. Use the calculator to get the exact info.

Sorry, right now my rears are 265.35.18 and they clear well with no rubbing... so I don't know if 35 are too tall for my dream size: 295.35.18... but I never know...
Thanks for the chart!
