295/30/19 on OEM SL65 Rear rims?

All,
I got Continental DWS 295/30/19 for my OEM SL65 19' Rims. Anybody running the same setting? Is there any problem with this setup? I know 295 it requires min 10' rims but the SL65 rear rim's width is 9.5. I've heard some running 295 with no issue. Just want to double check. Thanks for any advices!

Aldous

I ran several sets of 295's on 9.5 inch rims on my vette without any problems. As a matter of fact, they looked much better than the 275's the width called for...
