Thanks SSLVR, did you mount the 295's on the same wheels that the 275 were mounted on? Once on the vehicle do they look a lot bigger?

Yes, the stock 20x9 double spoke wheels. No clearance issues whatsoever. You can not go any wider than 295mm on the 9 inch rims. The width difference is noticeable and it looks perfect. The harshness in the ride is gone with the slight increase in height(the height is 45 % of the width which is 295 mm(plus the fact of course the tires are new). If you do the math its about 9 mm. But I find the yokos have nice deep tread depth to start with anyway..The truck rides well and looks great..Still playing with tire pressures but around 38 psi is working well, with a minimal to normal load..D

Mine rides great and fit the 9 inch rim well. Since this is my wife’s car It is worth it to have a little extra meat on the tire protecting the rim.
