Probably depends on the wheel dia.
I have 295-35-18's on 10" rims. The min. recommended with is 10.5" for a 295-18 but it still looks and handles fine. I wouldn't put the same tire on an 9.5" rim though.
If you're talking about a 295 on a 16" or 17" rim, then it'd probably be fine. The taller the side wall, the better it will fit.

I test their limits on a daily basis. No problems FOR ME. No bulge, no cupping in the middle. I usually run 36psi front 34psi back.
I wouldn't run any wider in the front. I don't really see the point unless there's some benefit with RR or AutoX. Too much work for the power steering pump, and my arms when parking in tight places.
I could also see oversized tires being more of a hazard when used as your directional steering tires vs the back tires due to more lateral forces being applied in turns.

well i don't like the idea of it not being safe so I will go with a different wheel so I can still use the 295 tire. Thanks for the help.
