Lightbulb will 295/30/19 be too wide for stock rims?

i'm starting to look for new tires, should need news ones by this spring and can't wait to start looking so I can be ready for the summer.

I'm leaning toward the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08. Anyone have any experience with them?

in any case, the front's are fine, 255/35/19, but the rears don't come in the standard 285/30/19, they only come 1 size up at 295.

the only problem is the rears for the 19's are 9.5" so 295 maybe too wide. On my old BMW i had 10" rears and the 295 fit perfectly. But with 9.5", i'm thinking the tire may be too wide. Anyone with more experience could give me some input would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a link to the tire:

I'm sure you've seen it but their spec sheet on the site says rim width of 10-11 so i not sure squeezing them on the 9.5 will work. Oh well, guess its time for new rims too then!

came across this thread. seems like these tires run 10-15mm wider because they are so square. some one was running 265's on a 9.5" wheel and it was a great fit

FWIW I run a 295x25x20 on a 20x10 rim and the offset is spot on with no rubbing. But I also run a tighter or shorter sidewall tire (Invo). If I ran a PS2 I know for sure that I would rub. Most of the time Japanese tires run a shorter sidewall (more round than square) so you might be ok. Im not sure about yokos though. I know the Toyo and Nitto are more round.

Also note, Im seriously dropped.
