Tucked tires. Will 295/35-18's fit?

Question is what tire and wheel combo to run without any problems. I'm in the process of building a 70' Jimmy 2wd and would like to have a rolling chassis. The chassis build is as follows Ridetech strong arms with shockwave bags and a 2" drop spindle. The rear is a set of Ridetech bags, shock relocation kit with adj. shocks, and an adj. panhard bar. All controlled with a digital air setup. I would like to run a 295/35-18 tire or something close to that size all the way around but I'm unsure what back spacing on the wheel it takes to do so or if its possible. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated! Pics would be awesome too. Thanks!

you should be fine with that tire in the rear on a 9.5" wide rim w/ 5.5 b.s. it may work in the front but the backspacing should be 4.5". look threw the builds and see what others are running.

I'll be running 295/45r-18s on my project with the suspension setup so that the frame is 9" off the ground at midpoint and the track width is 75" bulge to bulge. One thing I did to try and avoid any clearance issues was to push the steering pivot point out an inch on either side so there is less forward and back movement on the tire when it turns.
