Depends on the offset, but if your 295 Vredensteins don't fit properly in the rear, it sounds like the larger 295 R888 won't make the issue go away.
Again - depends on offset. YOU may need the rear fenders rolled with more neg camber, but not all set-ups would - especially for a 295-sized tire.

how badly are -3 camber? pics of a car with that camber settings?

now i have PSII 255 in the front and vredenstein 295 in the rear.
the only option for me in the front is 265 no mather what type of R tire, i would prefere 255, and i dont think i can fit less then 255.
and in the rear i would prefere 285 if there is. otherwise 295
the rear tires scrapes my non rolled fenders when i push it in the corners, but so did my PSII in size 285 aswell.. but i think we have confirmed that they are more or less just as wide

wait. for the rear - i am @ -2.1 and i hope for a few points more so it would be closer to -3
now the fronts are getting adjustable a-arms so i can get -3 or more.
again my car is track only.... and i need corner grip - not 500whp of the line grip...
and here is what toyo recommends
Toyo Tires recommends the following general set up guidelines for the Proxes R888:
* Operating Temperature: 160°F to 220°F
* Hot Inflation Pressures: 32 to 38 (psi)
* Camber: -2.5° to -5.0°
* Caster: As much positive as possible
JET - would you share what you run in terms of alignment ?

i had to roll fenders with a 275 advan sports on the same wheel setup...
so you will need to roll REAR fenders for sure. if you don't track - i would not suggest running r888.

btw. nothing that a fair amount of touch up paint can't fix.
if you track your front bumper and hood should be already a mess from sand and small rocks from following other cars.
otherwise trade in your rear wheels, go 9.5 all around and use 265 all around.

if they properly use the heat gun they shouldn't crack the paint...
