Default Urgent tire question

I am going to order CCW 505a's for my TA on Monday. 18x11 on the rear and dont want to have major issues with fitment. CCW recommended 295's and said there shouldn't be a problem with me having to break out a hammer on the car with this tire width.

I want to see pictures of 18x11's with 295's if you have them. I am not sure how much they will look stretched. I am considering the Kumho MX's.

I am lowered with G2's do you guys think there will be fitment issues?

Everyone let me know what you think. Thanks.

Amazing what you can find if you SEARCH . . . .



This is not my car, and personally do not like it . . . 295's are perfect on 10" to 10.5" wheel . . .

I did a search and couldn't find what I wanted or didn't want to dig through 10 pages of posts. Sorry to post something that may be in a search. Not sure why I got slammed for this because the same statement could be said about 10 or so other posts right now.

I have read that width can vary between manufactures. Does anyone have any experience with the actual width of the BFG 295 vs the Kumho 295?

Xsta Z 28 I searched for a post about Kumho tires and found that you posted that you have Kumho 18's. What size rear wheel and tire do you run? Thanks for your help.

Do NOT do 295s on a 11" wide wheel! Damn things will look stretched. I made that mistake and hate myself for it. 315s or nothing...and you'll probably have to bang the fender wells out, despite what CCW says. That, and maybe tinker with your bumpstops a bit.

i have 295s on a 10.5" wheel. they fit pretty good. 305 would probably be PERFECT. on an 11" wheel, you gotta put 315s.
