Thoughts on RS-RR sizing?

Looking into some rs-rr's for my 11" -8 offset rim. They max out at 275/35/18 and heard that these run a bit wide, would this be a stupid stretch? I wanted to run a 295 standard tire, but I already have some 245's for my 9.5"s in the front. I'm not looking for a stretched look, but this seems to be my only choice unless I want to replace all 4.

Read the tire specs from the manufacturer.

yes, the sidewall of the RS-RR is a bit more square than other tires, so it gives the impression of a size or so wider than what the width suggests.

275 will feel more like a 285ish tire.
