This should be interesting...
First of all, the sizes I am removing are my offroad special, 245/45/18 - KDWs.
The tires that came in the mail today are 295/30/18s - Bridgestone Potenza S-02As.
I expected a bit wider, and a little shorter.....but JESUS.
I do like the fact that I can remove the LIFT I have with the K-Sports cranked higher than stock ride height and how much meaner the fat tires make the stance look.
Just test fitting them on my custom invisible random orbital brake rotor position rims...
And before anyone asks - NO, I did not paint the side of my car with primer...its glare off the dirty car from my Lexus's off road HIDs for the picture.

Are you getting new wheels also? Unless you run something like a 11" +70 wheel, those are going to stick out way past your fender. The only way to not rub is to keep the car lifted so that the body doesn't contact the tire even when the suspension is fully compressed. I'm not sure what your thought process is when selecting a tire size, but a 255/35 would be a much more appropriate fit for your current wheel width and offset.

You guys don't know Cody. 
He has coil overs so he can lift the beast instead of lower it since he lives in Prescott and the roads are rough.
Typical conversation with Cody regarding tires.
Me: "Hey man we are about to drive back up to Prescott from Phoenix with possible snow, you see that your tires have wires popping out the inside?"
Cody: "f@#kING Awesome!!!!!!!!"
Me: *Poker Face*
