All of the major tire/wheel places are notoriously conservative when it comes to wheel and tire widths, especially where front fitments are involved. Their reasons probably involve minimizing returns, dealing with unhappy customers, and not paying additional staff to find out what combinations fit all the different cars they carry wheels for.
Chances are they never contacted anybody, or they did and the wheel guy threw so many caveats on things like tire size or offset at them that they still didn't want to deal with it.
As far as I know, wheel diameter is irrelevant.
285/35 . . . 9.5" min, 10.0" measuring, 11" max
295/35 . . . 10.0" min, 10.5" measuring, 11.5" max
305/35 . . . 10.0" min, 11.0" measuring, 12" max
Using measuring width as the only consistent indicator available for 'stretch' or 'pinch', 295/35's on 11" would be a very mild stretch. Most people wouldn't notice.
