I put 305/25/20 on My rear Saleen Rims and look kinda stupid, low profile too small. I'd say 295/40/20 would fill it in perectly.

I'm sure many of you have this link already but if you don't, it is a good tire size calculator:

If you use this tire calculator you can see that if you are alreadyrunning 275/40R20's on the rear with 10" wheels and you want a wider tire, the 315/35R20's would be perfect. The sidewall's are almost identical as well as the overall diameter. It is just a hair wider with no rubbing.

Definitely move to a 35 sidewall tire if you are putting on a 295 width tire. Realize that the 295/40 tire with the 706 revs/mi will adversely effect acceleration similar to changing your rear-end gears.

The only problem is that there is no manufacturer making anything in 295/35/20...and wider than 295 is too wide imo. I'll have to stick with the 275/40/20 PZero Rosso's for rear I'd guess...
