Question 295's on the Rear Anyone?

No one's asked anything about tire sizes in 30 minutes or so, so I thought I'd post a question.

Is anyone running 295's on the Rear? Having any problems?

Currently I have 285/ 30/ 19's on 10" rims, which has a .1" larger diameter than stock. I'd like to see if 295/30/19's will work. They would give me a diameter that's .25" larger than stock ( speedo will read 65mph when I'm going 65.63mph). I'd like the extra rubber both on the ground and from the wheel to the road.

Thanks!

I have 295s on the rear with 20" x 11" wheels (35 offset). Had to trim the liner and bumper mounting bracket. Trim strips still work without modification.

A lot less trimming than 245s on the front. The turning wheels require more clearance.

They look real beefy from the back and don't have the goofy stretched look.

295/20 on the 20 X 11 here with no modification, no problems. Go for it!

Thanks, guys!

I think when I replace the rears (early in 2009), I'll make this change.
