Damn tyre fitter has just let me down:(.....waited all this time and now he's saying next Monday......well F**k that for a game of soldiers.....gonna ring around and see if I can find someone I can trust:tsk::tsk::rant:

Plenty of mobile fitters buddy, just inform them before hand they are 20" and very wide and you want to be 110% guaranteed they will not mark your wheels.

Alternatively if you can get them in your car or other vehicle, drive to like an Audi, BMW or Jaguar garage as they all have tyre machines ideal for 20" and bigger wheels. :)

How do the 295's look from behind, do they noticeably look wider ?

Great choice sir!!!

Exactly the sort of style I will one day go for. Look amazing.

Need to get a decent camera to get a pic of the colour in the sun.
Cheers Jim..:thumbsup:.. They really do look great, and I'll try and get some decent pics asap...:)

Just for a bit of further info... I weighed them again with the tyres on

P6G front = 53.6lbs
P6G rear = 56.8lbs

Standard F = 60lbs
Standard R = 64lbs

So the P6G F is 6.4lbs lighter, and the rear is 7.2lbs lighter:)

I'll try and get a photo from the rear tomorrow, to compare as I've only fitted the drivers side at the moment:lol::lol:

They're a good fit on the 11" rears, although you can go 305 or even 325 with the correct offset...

But I'm a firm believer that bigger isn't always better, yes there will be more grip with a wider tyre, but for me, it's as much about feel and balance......it's easy to over tyre a car, and upset the balance.....all depends on what you're after I suppose..;)
