I was wondering if any of you guys could post pics of the rear of your cars with 295s. I'm curious as to how wide they look. Plus it's an opportunity for some of you to pic whore.

Any straight shots from the back? Both of your cars look awesome, though.

I suppose you could put a 305 on a 10" but it's not going to be much of a noticable difference. Some 295's can be wider than 305's due to brand differences. I still have 12" of rubber on the ground.

I took one just now for ya:

yeah, i hear ya. I think the Nitto's actually do run a little smaller width than other companies. I think BFG actually has the largest 295's, which are almost about the same width as my 305's.

A KDWII 295 is the exact same wide as my Firehawks 11.9"

Not wide enough. Go 315 or 335.

Cobrared and Sleeper, thanks a lot for posting those pics. I'm getting 18" anthracite FR500s soon (DD rear) and they have 295s on the back. They're Goodyear Eagle F1s. They're gonna be wider than I thought.

Did a quick photoshop of my car to get an idea how the wheels themselves would look:

not a stang,

but I would suggest firehawk wide ovals, best traction in wet and dry and tread wear out of any tire I have owned.

Winter and I have the same tires. And I have to agree, haven't taken them to the track yet - but so far like em better than my KDW's. Although it may not be fair as those were 275's.

Might be pushing it on a 10" rim. If anything, I'll go with 305s down the road.

I have 315s on a 9 inch wheel. They are Nittos which run a little smaller but they have a nice fit.
