I have 255/35/20 on the front and 295/30/20 on the back. So you should have no problem. I'm 99% sure I don't have spacers installed. (Dealer installed the wheels)

Def. do the 295s on the rear I regret not doing it but I have 18x9s all the way around, but my next set-up is going to be staggered with 18x10.5 in the rear and 18x9s in the front....

With all due respect - you aren't sure if you have spacers?

I have 315/35/17 Nitto DRs on rear on 10.5. and the fronts are stock. The Nittos are OK on the street wet or dry, but not great on the track.With recent gear change, I will have to get a taller tire anyway.

Your just the man I was looking for. I was wondering if I could fit those in the back. Do you know what offset and wheel type you have?
