hoosier r6 245/35/18 on a 9.5 wide rim?
Looking for info on anyone that has ran the wide 9.5 wheel on a 245 size hoosier (or comparable tire)? Remember a 245 hoosier is as wide as a 255 in some other tires.
I hear pros and cons.
Should I drop down to a 9 inch wheel (or even an 8.5?)?
Will this wide of a wheel alter the diameter of the tire any?
Probably have less sidewall give?
Anyone with any experieince?
I am limited to this size due to the rules/points of my TT class.

Sorry, can't answer your question. But I've been thinking of running a 245 Toyo R888 (which also runs wide) on a 9.5" wheel. I'd guess the sidewalls walls will be little more stiff.
