Since you stated you have the stock 18s then you probably wouldn't want to run a 295 on a 9" wheel. 295 belongs on a 10.5" to 11.5" wheel.

I stated you need to lift it because it will rub. I wouldn't go any wider than a 275 on a 9" wheel and even that is pushing it. Your handling will get sloppy.

Post a pick so we can see what your ride looks like now. Have you thought about changing wheels? I know exactly what you mean by filling the wheel wells. I almost wish I went with 19" wheels
