can a 295/35-19 R888 can run on 9.5x19 drifts??? Would this be a safe rim size or am I asking too much?? The SVE drifts have 35+ offset and the tires have a 26in diameter so they should fit the car. But is the rim too narrow..?? Its less then the 10 in minimum recommended... But still worth asking

And yes, I am too strapped for cash for more expensive options!!...... until some time in the future!!
 
I have some 285/35/19's on SVE 9.5" wheels. It is the widest tire I would ever go on a 9.5" wheel. Putting a 295 on there is just too much.

Contact Toyo directly and ask them. I am running a 295/30/18 R6 on my 18 x 9.5 Enkei PF01 at the recommendation of Hoosier even though their spec sheet recommends a 10-12" rim. I contacted them for recommendations on the widest tires I could run on my wheels and they suggested the 295 to go with the 315 I'm running in the rear. Their only concern was clearance which I verified, but still used a 1/8" spacer up front just to be safe.

Since you're asking about a 19" diameter application I can't confirm you wouldn't have a rubbing issue somewhere since I haven't tried it. I did run a 265/35/19 R6 with no problem.

Your right. Emailed Hoosier and they where fine with running 295/30-19 R6 tires on 19x9.5 wheels.
