18x10 square tires size option

Hi guys I had some difficulties with tire size selection on my 18x10 et25 square set. Before I'm using 275/35/18 NT01 it was awesome, but this year I'm thinking if I can try the 295/30/18 Nankang AR1 on this set, I'm just not sure if the sidewall is strong enough on 18x10 wheels, also not sure if it can clear my kw 3way clubsport suspension. If you have any experience and suggestions please let me know!!!!

295 is way too big for a 10 inch wheel. Yes, the Nankang CRS (presumably the AR1 too) run a tad narrower than the NT01 but it's still too big in my opinion. 285/30 is an option but I would stick with 275/35 for the sidewall. Also, so many options are available in this size which is nice, especially with supply chains bottlenecked.

ET25 is too aggressive for the rear with a wide tire. That is a E9X fitment, not an F8X fitment that is ET36-40 in the rear

A 10" wheel should really be paired with 275 tires. 285 will be ok. I prefer to run even 275 on a 10.5 wheel

Square setup for reference:

F80
* MCS 2WR with Hyperco Helper & 5” Swift Primary
* Titan-7 Forged Wheels: T-S5 18x10.5” +34 with 15mm Spacer Front
* Toyo RR 295/30/18
* Alignment: -3.7 Front Camber

Fitment is Perfect
