the 285 and 295 is not going to be a huge difference . it is not going to spin as much with the 295 though you may need to do the BFH mod . i got 285/35/18s at the moment and could not be happier . they fit well and do not rub on the inside which as you go up in size will become a concern unless the use of a spacer .
just make sure to get some quality rubber .
