Default Will a 295/30R20 rear fits the OE central lock 11.5"(ET 56) wheels?

I noticed the OE central lock rear wheels are 305, with 11.5" width.
But the winter tire recommended is 295 which fits 11" wheels.
Also two dealerships told me they are doing the 295 on OE 11.5" all the time.
Is there any concerns?

I see a lot people put a narrower tire on a wider rim, most of them are ricers with civic...

I got this exact set-up on mine, no issues, 295-30-20 Michelin Artic Alpin PA4 mounted on the stock CL wheels 11.5" wide. Fronts are stock size 245-35-20
Rear tires still have that wide look, similar to the summer 305

Oh man, thanks so much.
Because I am going to paint my wheels plus exhaust, tuning, etc... The costs is like !*$& crazy. So I don't want to 'waste' money for a new set of winter wheels. My dealer told me I would be fine, but still want to hear from owners!
We do have to balance the tire and wheel every time we change tires, right?

Yes, for any car, you need to rebalance when changing tires on the rims.
