Default Tire Fitment Question

I currently have an 11" rear with a 295/30/18 tire. Will this tire fit properly on a 12" rim?

Ignacio,

Look at www.tirerack.com for the "specs" for your particular brand/style of tire. They will list the appropriate width range for each size. Without knowing more, my guess is that it will "fit" but it will be stretched a bit. A 315 or even a 335 might be the optimum size for a 12" wheel. How about some pictures of your new car? Oh...and where's Waldo?

Ignacio, a 295 is a bit narrow for a 12 inch rim, it will fit, but not recommended since you will be stretching the sidewall. I use 315/335s for the 12".
