what wheels and whats the offset?

Wheels are 18x9.5 work meister s1 2-piece, offset should be around +20, i had 265/40/18 michelin pilot sports all around n those were still fine and sat flushed. Also had 265/35/18 advan a048, kumho v70a and dunlop dz02g which all had no problems. The 275s that im looking at are Dunlop SP Sport series or Bridgestone Potenza series.

I'm running the same rims (Workmeister S1) in 18x10 +20 with 265 rubber and they j-u-s-t clear (had to flair the inner lips on the guards slightly). I guess the 275 on 18x9.5 would be around the same.

When u say u had to flair the inside of the guard, does it mean pressing in the inside of the guard upsides flat against the fenders? Was it just the front or front n rear?

Anyone? I need advice real soon in order to decide on the 275 tyres~~

i have to be honest here. i can't see why you want 275 tyres in the first place? 265 is massive. and 255 is ample. especially on a 9.5inch rim a 275 will probably handle worse than a good 255 and the 275 will be heavier and more expensive.

no one can tell you for certain if it will fit or not. so many things will affect that. offset of your wheels? ride heigh of your car? castor setting? front camber? rear camber? height of bumptops? only way to find out is buy and try.

What he said! 275's would be craptacular on 9.5s.
