You have a wheel with a 18.5 inch diameter? Really?

295 rear with a +3 offset will rub. You should probably run a smaller spacer in the rear, cause even a 275 will rub with that spacer.

My offset is +20 with a 10mm spacer in the rear. I have a slight roll in the back and think I would have to raise the car or ditch the spacer if I had a 295.


here is a pic of the space to make your own judgement if you would like.

9.5 +15 can and will rub with 275/40 without a roll at stock height.

Even with no spacer, at +28 with a 295 tire depending on your camber, you'd probably need a fender roll.

Nissan puts a 265 mm tire on a 10.0 wheel. And you want a 295 mm tire on a 9.5 inch wheel?
