Apparently its a tough size to get with that kind of sidewall. Rubber band tires on big wheels have been done a lot (not that its bad, I like the look myself). For this car and its style, we thought this setup would be better. The 295 is to be sure we could stuff the wheels under the fenders with the minitubs w/o worrying about rubbing issues. We tried 315s but they would rub when taking a turn hard.

I'm with you all the way for exactly the reasons you stated.
Ain't a damn thing wrong with 18's for handling and some nice,meaty sidewalls.
