Default Anyone have a pic of 295s on an 11.5 inch wheel?

Thinking about pulling the trigger on set of Carrera Sports and the feedback I've gotten from the board is that I should be fine using my 295s on them. I would love to see a pic if anyone has done this (would hate to mount them only to realize that it looks odd).

If I'm being ridiculously ****, please tell me that too

Michelin Pilot Super Sports - Wheel Enhancement says these run wider.

I was in the same position as you. The rears are 295s mounted on 11.5 inch rims.

Wow thanks so much. Looks pretty damn good to me. How does it look in person?

I can't notice any difference. I appreciate your concern, but it certainly doesn't look "odd". I can't speak to performance issues because I haven't had 305s on the rears for comparison, but visually I don't think you'll notice a difference. For me, the Carrera Sports were nice enough that I was willing to give it a try.
