295's do not fit on 9.5" wheels . . . need a 10" wheel minimum.

And there is NO WAY that pic is of a 295/??ZR17 Good Year GSD3 on a stock 9" SS wheel . . .

I'll try to post some pics when I get home, but I wouldn't run that tire on a 9.5" rim. I'm currently running them on 10.5" rims.

I run a 285 on my SS wheels, but wouldn't go any wider.

A 295 should be put on, no smaller than, a 10 inch wheel. You COULD put a 295 on your 9.5s, but its not recomended. I have 275s on my 9.5s and they look a LITTLE stretched. A 285 on a 9.5 would be perfect.

Yeah they'll fit, but I wouldn't recommend it either. The tire will start to wear out quicker, if you have a 9" wheel I actually think a 265 looks perfect, and I wouldn't go wider than a 275.

Once you persoanlly try and mount a 295 on 9 inch or 9.5 inch wheel, youll see why people are saying you shouldnt do it. Especially a GSD3, the 285 rivals a nitto 315. Plus expect more wear in the center, and a less responsive feel.

It really depends on what tire you buy. A firestone and some others run narrow and on a 10.5 they look too small. The GSD3's however would NOT fit on a 9.5!! https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...uff+wheels+295
