Yeah, mine hook pretty well.

And for comparison, my 295's were probably just as wide as my brother's 315 Nittos he had on his SS he just sold.

if you look in the "post your CCW's" thread you'll see several people running the 295's on a 11" rim and they do have some stretch to them. Not real bad but noticeable. I have the 295's on the rears on a 10" rim with no stretch and my fronts are 275/35/18 on a 9" rim.

Here's a link to my photobucket album

I had those on my 3rd Gen and on my ZR1's I had on the SS and after having the 2, the KDW2's definitely handle and grip better. Plus they look badass! They do have more road noise though, but I only notice that with the windows up and doing around 40 in town when the car is in OD.

On a true 11" wide rim I would run a MINIMUM of a 305 tire. In your case I'd run a 315. But in all honesty, even a 335 could be put on.

I would NOT recommend putting a 295 tire on a 11" wide rim though, it WILL stretch and look bad, IMO.
