When I use a 285/30/18 tire it looks a little streched out..I was wondering if anyone uses 285/35/18 on a lowered car with no issues..

I think it's still going to look stretched even with a 285/35. I went from 285/35/18 on 10inch wheel moved those tires over to a 11inch wheel and it still looked stretched it wasn't until I went to 295/30/18 tire on 11inch and now it looks fine. No rubbing issues at all but I do have a C2S Wide-Body. Not sure if you go with the 295/30/18 on a NB that you won't have any rubbing problems.

Another 295/30/18 for a perfect fit on my 11" BBS wheels on a lowered wide body.

295's would of been my choice but I will rub on a NB.

I looked up a few brands on Tire Rack. Most 285/30's show a rim width range of 9.5" to 10.5". I found one with a range of 9.5" to 11". I read (Paul Frere's 911 Story, I think) that Porsche uses the smallest tires that will fit on the largest possible rims on its race cars. Does anyone have a picture of a 285/30 on 11" rims?

I currently have a 295/30 PS2 on my 10" rims and it looks a little buldgy.

235/40/18 & 295/30/18 with 5mm rear spacer.
Car is lowered. No rubbing at all.
Had the rear fenders rolled just in case. But not an issue.

thanks...ever any mounting problems?

Whats the offset on the rear rim?

yes, they will be a tad stretched where they meet the bead, but i would think that would <reduce> the possibility of tire to inner fender contact.
