295/30/20's on a slammed Coupe

Well like the title says, I just bought 295/30's for my Vossen's. Anyone ever tried this? I have 285's and put a 3mm spacer on, which is 2mm shy (on the outside) of a 295. It was sooooo close its unbelievable. I still think the 295's will barely clear, but I may have to shave a small amount of plastic in the fender well area. As far as I know, I'm going to be the guinea pig. I'll be sure to post pics, but 295's should lookin slammin from the rear. Oh yeah, the car is slammed on BC Racing coils.

Yeah I know I can fit a 25 series, but the 30 series is quit a bit taller. Im not into the super small ratios, I like a little more sidewall. I bet a 305 looks sick from the rear tho.

I have an early set of the Vossens which are a 42 offset, but require the 3mm spacer. This makes them a 39 offset. So, Im running 20x10.5 rim with a 39 offset and a 285/30 tire. The tires are slightly tucked. I have BC coils and an SPC adjustable lower link as well as toe bolts. The car is at the upper end of the negative camber spec so the current set of Falkens lasted 9k miles ):
