So 295 will fit the 9.5"s huh?

Hmm... already thinking of a new tire setup with a smaller sidewall.

Nice!

BTW, do you have your fenders rolled?
I'm curious because I'll be going with the Pro-Kit as well.

A 295 is pretty wide for a 9.5" wide wheel. Typically to run this wide of a tire I recommend a 18x10" wheel at the minimum. With a 9.5" wide wheel a 285 wide tire is the widest I would recommend going.

With your Rota Grids, a nice setup for aggressive street driving is 265/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear. It looks amazing and will also handle fairly neutral.

With a 18x9.5 +20 wheel the widest I recommend running with 100% stock fenders is a 275/40/18 tire. Once going to a 285+ tire it is always recommend to roll your rear fenders to avoid rubbing. With the Eibach Pro Kit and a 295/35/18 tire we were rubbing in the rear before rolling our fenders, a 285/35/18 is in a grey area and will ultimately depend on your alignment settings.

Your car looks GREAT along with the pictures, but you need to get some tints
