Hello, has anyone fit a 295/30/18 tire on a narrow body on a 11 wheel?
285 not offered in the tire im looking for, only 295.
Thanks in advance!

As an aside, Michelin 4Ss are now available in 285/30 and I can't think of a better street tire.
Plenty of NB 993s running 295/30/18 on 11" wheels.
Your offset will give context to this.

Offset is key. Most won’t take on a RS height and lower on 275/35 without a roll. You’ll need to roll the fenders with a VERY competent shop that will take their time and not crack the paint.

The Cargraphics are - 10.5 x 18 x 59et, but with a greater offset, 295's would easily fit.
However, you have to measure and make sure the tires are their stated size. Several months ago I bought 295 Bridgestone SO4's. When they arrived, they looked absolutely HUGE. I measured them, and they were 325's despite the sidewall displaying 295.
Here are 285 Bridgestone SO4's which measured 285, no rolling or rubbing:

Here are the specs comparing a known max fitment on the left and one of the suggested 295 fitments on the right, the issue w/ 285 on the left was a minor roll to the left rear wheel arch lip, the issue w/ 295 is illustrated in red, compare the #s
the left 285 setup has no ride height restrictions but is used w/ a stiff track suspension and track oriented alignment
the 2 issues that crop up w/ max 993 fitments in bact are drivers side(left) wheel arch and passenger side inner fender(right) wall
w/ a symmetric 285/30 on 10 ET65 there is virtually no more clearance at either spot, but as mentioned the left lip will need to be clearanced on a low car
the 295 also costs ~10lb-ft of torque which is noticeable
