Default Will 295/35/18's fit on 11.5 CCW wheels?

Has anyone seen a set of 295/35/18's rear tires on a set of 11.5 inch CCW wheels? Did/do they look ok? Goodyear is releasing the GS-D3 in that size soon and I would love to dump my Pilot Sports for them since I have to replace two of my fronts anyway.

there's a guy named "Rome" on the forum running 335/30/18's on an 18x11.5 ccw and here's how it looks



295's might be too narrow.

Thanks! I'm currently running 335/30/18's right now myself. I'm getting ready to buy some new tires soon and I would like to go with the GS-D3. The down side is 295/35/18 is as large as they go. The GS-D3 is rated for a 11.5 inch rim max. I just don't know if the rim will stick out further than the tire or not, which would be bad as it would be easy to curb the wheel.

I had 295's on my classics and they were fine. The rim was not sticking out. I did just change to 335's and they look awesome!!!!
