Anybody Try 295/30's on Rear Instead of Stock Size?

Hey guys,

I am still interested in getting the PS4's but they don't make a 285/30/19 for the rear. They do make a 295/30/19 according to AMGRick. If any of you have tried this size, did it look OK on the wheel? Did the sidewall still look square to the ground? Doing the trig using an estimated 2inch tall sidewall, and an additional 5mm per side of tire, I get a 5.7 degree change. I believe this would be noticeable but not obvious. Also, I assume that performance might take a small hit as well with sidewall sloped in the wrong direction.

But maybe I am over thinking this. I would love to hear from any of you that have tried this on stock rims.

Thanks in Advance

So you can't see any mild sloping inward of the sidewalls? No issues with clearance in the wheel wells?

Thanks Again

Not my car. Not stock wheels. But it's a 295 on a 9.5" wide wheel. You get a bit of that "bulging".... I luv it.
