I've seen people run 295's on stock wheels, but don't recommend it. Just remember though, a stock wheels is not made for a 285, and it can damage the wheel. Not saying it will happen, but it can. You also might have to crank the T bars a bit or get a leveling kit as well. And if you do any trimming, it will be the on lower plastic valance on the front bumper.

I've never seen a stock wheel damaged from an oversized tire. Hell I even ran 305s on my factory steel wheels and they're only half inch wider than PYOs.

I think he meant cause premature wear on the tires because the rims are too narrow. I run 295's on mine but it rides pretty rough with the torsion bars nearly all the way up. It will rub my inner fender but it clears the bumper on my LMM. I'll put 285's on it when these wear out.
