Are you serious? Crap, i want to run 305's on my 9.5". According to the VRT guys this isn't a problem. So i dont know. I currently have 285/35's on the back and they are almost flush and fit fine. I would think his tire is too big and he needed a 295/30 but who knows. I wish i could get a 305 and see if it fits and if it does buy it, if not get a 295.

why do you need 295's? without boost you have NO need for anything bigger than 275

If you have 285s on a 9.5 and arent feeling tire roll then you just might be pushing the limit. I personally hate the way this tire roll feels. It is so uncontrollable and scary. I am going back to 275s and staying there...

(btw i planned on boosting thats why i got the 295s to begin with)

I have the APS TT making 463whp and 445wtrq and the 285's just aren't cutting it. I have my camber fixed and have an adjustable coilover setup.

I dont feel any tire roll at all. They feel just like my 275's only with a little more grip. Most of my driving is using the power in a straight line so I would mind a lil tire roll but hopefully nothing like DR's.

well going from 275 to 295 on a 9.5 made a HUGE difference in tire roll. I dont recommend it.
