Default Kumho Ecsta XSs 315/30/18s on backorder....

They are on backorder for quite a while and I wlil be needing some meats for my 18x11 rear wheels. My previous wheels (C4 ZR1) had 315/35/17s on them which required me to BFH the inner fender wells and roll the lips.

Since I won't know when the Kumho 315 will get here I'm considering other tire sizes. According to the sticky from Xsta the 295 tire is not recommended for use on an 11" rim; however, the accepted rim range on Tirerack's website says that 295s can fit rims anywhere from 10"-11.5".

How would a 295 look on an 11" rim? Anyone got any pics? I'm sure it would be stretched a little. Invos, Continental Extreme contact DWs, or KDW-2s. I'm not looking for drag radials, street tires only in the less than or equal to $350 range.
