It is as tight as other photos you have seen here, but still, no 2 tires will have the same dimentions, and they must be studied to run 11s.

I run the C3 5 spoke common replacement wheel.

What brand of tire is that 295/35 you tried?
Bridgestone potenza re050a

whats the backspacing of the rim.... looking for a number like.. 8" moutng surface to inner edge.
295 should fit well.... roll fender with wood baseball bat to completely take down that edge, smoothly without hurting the paint.

below are how the 9s fit 275s and we were able to put a 1/2 spacer on the hub and it makes a tight fight but in no way rubs.

(also my 305s fit on 11s with 8" backspacing)

Right now I have the 295's on the 10" ET 58 and there's is very little clearance between the tire and fender. Maybe 4mm. Being that an ET 51 is 7mm father out and 1" wider they just don't fit without fender mods.

Hers is a pic showing



how close the 295/35's are to the fenders with the 10" et 58 wheel.
that's a completely unrolled fender... there could be almost an inch, just with some almost non-noticible rolling of the fender

Yes, if I rolled the fender and put a 3mm spacer on they would be fine. They currently rub on the inside. 10" et 58. I will be going down to a 275 or 265/35 since I need new tires any way. The 295's came with the rims and are almost done.

Same model as I have.

However, being that the 295 is 1.7" wider in SW, aint no way.
