Default is it possible to run a 295/35/18 in the rear of a 18x9.5 rim with +20 offset

Also, if it works, will a 255/40/18 front and 295/35/18 rear setup work well?

Thanks.

It'll look bad man.. I have 18x9 and 18x10 +20, the tires are 245/40/18(F) and 275/35/18(R). Any particular reason your going that wide in the rear?

idk why it would look bad. My old wheels were 18x9.5 +30 and at Zdayz in 08 i was running 295/35/18 G forces and i think it looked pretty good

Yea but arent G-forces really squared? He's going to have alot of sidewall, maybe some coming over the lip of the wheel. I could be wrong though, I've seen Mustang guys do it all the time and it doesnt look right to me.
