As to fitment, I'm running the 295 on the AR Rebel 18 x 10 with 41mm offset in the rear and so far I have no rubbing. My car is not lowered and looks like I might have to roll the fender when I get new springs.

Ok. The bottom line is they fit and look great. And after I get my use out of them with no problems I will let you know. No sense in arguing...

depending on what offset you have, a 295 will just fit on an f-body. I have 295-35-18s on 18x10.5" wheels with a +50mm offset. they rub VERY little in the wheel well. However, too low of an offset will result in the tire rubbing on the fender lip. I would guess a +46mm offset would be perfect.

...and 295-35 should not be put on a 9.5" wheel.
