Any answers on the tps exchange?

No, I knew I wanted to get 245/35/18 and 265/35/18 and for the life of me I don't know why I ordered different. Not that its an excuse but I have been on meds this last 5 days.
Anyways, I am going to try to exchange the 295s for 255s if the cost comes with lube... If not then it looks like I am buying wheels sooner than I wanted... And nothing really stands out for my taste right now...

My question is should I even try to run these on my stock wheels?
You think the 265/35/18 up front would be ok to run?
I could buy some rims to accommodate the size but but I hate to do the after market wheels because of the tps and I haven't even looked into wheels/prices.
Anyways, give me some options

FWIW, those tires will fit onto OE rims.
*autoX guys fit 285/30/18 wide Kumho V710 (very stiff sidewalls) onto 18X8 rims...it's very hard to do so, and I've only seen it once.
265 onto a 8" rim - YES
285 onto a 8.5" rim - YES
and w/ the OE offsets, the tires will be fairly close to flush.

Thanks for the encouragement but I will def get closer to spec either with the 255s or new wheels. I'm sure it's possible to fit but as a dd I don't think it is safe.

.*but I understand that it's just another thing to have to think about, and could also take some time to find someone willing to mount those for you.
