Will I get a 295/30 20 Bridgestone S007A on a 10.5" ET 50 wheel under the rear of a VF SSVR ute? I think Panhead showed us a picture of a 295/30 on a 10" wheel at ET 50, but a 10.5 pulls the tyre out a bit and the Bridgestone runs about as wide as a Michelin PS4S. Obviously I'll need a guard roll, but the tyres have to come from interstate and I didn't want get the 295's ordered in and then try and swap them for a 285 if they're just too wide. Technically, they should be a couple of mm inboard or less poke than a 285 on a 10.5 at ET42, a common fitment with Koya, Vossen etc. Any thoughts?

VF HSV Maloo UTE Walkinshaw 557
I am running 295/30/20s @ the rear on my VF Maloo ute using HSV standard rims sorry off the top of my head Im not sure of there width , as this thing is punching out over 500hp at the tyres I just run cheap tyres doesn't really matter what you put on as it will break traction even with good tyres when you stab it .These are cheapies Winrun and they actually are really good for the price .After driving them in this wet event we are having on the East coast I had no issues with grip They fit with no guard rub unloaded ..BUT when I load up the tray they just touch at speed on a G out into a dip on the road so plan on getting the guards rolled at some time .

HSV wheels are 9.5" ET 57, a bit narrow for 295's, but good to know it only has a minimal laden scrape without a guard roll.

Forgestar in the USA were right. They recommended a 20x10.5 ET50 and 295/30 for a Chev SS/Pontiac G8 (VE/VF) fitment.
