Yasir,
Were do they rub. I was going to try the Michelin PS2's in this size. I am currently running 285's and i have a half inch of clearence between the tire and the trailing arm. the 295's shouldn't add more than .250 on the inside gap.
BTW the trailing arms are very pourly cleaned and you can grind away the parting line of the casting without affecting the integrity of the casting in the area that is rubbing, if this is the problem.
What size fronts did you go with and what rim widths are you running?

Anthony,
The tires are sticking about 3 mm past the outer fender lips but there is still enough clearance,atleast 3-4 mm on the inside.The wheels are 18x10.5 with 60mm offset.The inside is not an issue with me it's the outside.
Your wheels are 18x10 with 63 mm offset so there is a possibility that these tires might just fit your car but you really have to do some calculations keeping in mind that these Potenze are bit wider then regular 295's,so check with Tirerack about the tire width first.
If it works out heck you will be saving $ 250+ on this deal,let me know if these work out for you.
Note: If i remember correctly the MPS 295 measures 11.7 and Potenza measures about 12.3 so that gives you an idea what to look for.
