That might be tight on full flex. I run 285/75 r17 without issues

Most write ups on here say that with a 2.5 inch lift you can fit a 35 inch tire under it with potentially the need to shave fenders to accommodate full flex. That is what I plan on getting. If I am not mistaken a 295 equates to a 33 inch? You should be good.

I ran 35" tires on a leveling kit for about six months. I had zero rubbing on the street but I rubbed the fender and rear pinch seam at full flex. Those tires won't look that big when they're mounted.

yeah, i really want different rims but thats down the road a bit so spacers and stock rims will have to do for now. just questioning how far they will hang out of the fender flares, guess i can cut them when i mod the bumper this spring.

They won't stick out too far. The tire isn't that much wider than stock and you're only adding 1.5" of backspacing.

this a 305 width that actually measures 12" wide. My rims have approximately 4.6" back spacing. This is roughly what you'll have with the spacers. Your tires will be about 11.5" wide which translates to them sticking out 1/4" less than what you see here.

It'll fit perfectly. Don't worry.

Do you run spacers with this set up? I am getting this size tire on my stock wheels also and don't have spacers yet. Do you think they fit without them?

Sounds like it is time to chop the fenders!

i run 35s on a 3'' lift with 1.5"" spidertrax and still rub on the front in full flex. Flat flares are the answer.:thumb:
