It's not at all. In that pic I was running 275/35 all around. If you are going to track the car it may not be the best setup, but if it's jsut for a little spirited driving you won't notice much difference at all (not to mention you can rotate the tires!).

Tire size on the 18x9.5 wheels will really depend on what type of driving you plan to do. I recommend a 245/40/18 or 255/40/18 in front and a 275/40/18 in the rear. The 255 wide tire will fill out the wheel a bit more however not all tires come in a matching 255/40 and 275/40 setup.
A 295/40/18 tire on a 9.5 wheel will look very bulged. If you are planning to run that wide of a tire I would step down to a 35 series.
