Default Will 295/45/17 Fit on my car

I'm currently running the m/t et street 1 drag radails size 275/40/17 -- I wanted to upgrade to the m/t et street 2 drag radials size 295/45/17 which is 2" taller almost. But I'm running ebiach sportline lowering springs all way around. I know the fender will need to be rolled -- but would they fit still? Anyone running that tire size with lowering springs in the rear??? If could u pleaseeeee post up some pictures

Don't worry about newbie cause they will fit. I have a set on the rear of my car the same size for play time.

Just out of curiosity, what modifications if any did you have to do to get them the 295s to fit? BFH, roll fenders, bump stops...? I'm planning on swapping from my 315s to the 295s next year.

I had to BFH a little. I also trimmed the rear bumper cover just to get a little more clearance.

That black Z above is mine and is lowered ~2". The bump stops are gone and the metal tab is cut flush with the inner fender.
I did some very minor BFH mod on the inner front. I have double adj LCA's to center the wheel and the fenders are not rolled.
Rims are OE 17x11's.

And yes ABS light is always on
