Default Nitto 295 x 45 x 18 too tall?

I have Z06 size rear wheels (10 & 1/2"). Is the above size too tall for my 02 coupe? I ask because I did not see a 295 x 35 x 18 listed.

I am running them on a 10.5 wide wheel, and it definitely fills the well. My speedo/odo are slow(Not sure if that is really a problem ) When my speedo says 65, my GPS says I am doing 68.5. I have had no problems with them at all, but then I don't have Active Handling.
The only other problem I have found is the tall sidewall gets a bit squishy on corners when you really push the car hard.

I think I have about 5-6K on them at this point.
