I'm just pondering of my next set and never really considered 295 on 10" but since others have gone this route I'm at least curious how it looks and their opinion of how it rides vs a thinner tire.
So I had them rolled today and the tires now BARELY clear. I went over several long/wide speed bumps at relatively high speeds, hit a few big dips I know of that usually cause my front bumper to scrape, and the only time they rubbed at all was when taking a corner pretty aggressively which has a dip in the road (turning into a neighborhood where the road immediately slopes upwards). I think I nailed the most aggressive setup possible without needing serious modification like getting adjustable camber arms or pulling the fenders, or running stretched tires which I absolutely hate. But there is no way PSS 295's would fit on a 19x10.5 +45 without MAJOR modification since they'd stick out almost 10mm more than my setup. But you should consider the Evo2's if you want to run 295's, especially since you can almost get 2 sets of them for the price of 1 set of PSS! I paid just over $700 delivered for a set of 255/35/19 & 295/30/19.

I may take my wheels in to get 2-3mm milled off the back to take care of that minor rubbing, although I'm debating if it's even enough to worry about. I think I'll drive it around for a while under normal conditions and then decide.

For anyone in AZ who needs their fenders rolled PM me for the # of the guy I used, he was great. He actually works at Vivid Racing and does fender rolling on the side. He was at my house for 2 1/2 hours and only charges $20/corner + $20 for the mobile service, but I paid him $100 since he did an awesome job.

I'm debating between 2 different custom center caps for these wheels, and here are my two designs. I'm leaning towards the Yamaha ones since they're unique, the blue goes well with the blue ring on the wheels, and of course because the engine is tuned by Yamaha. Maybe I'll just order both and see how they each look on the car since they are only about $20-$30 for a set of four.
