I have a winter set of tires in a 275/70/17 that are 32.2" tall x 11.2" wide and those don't rub mounted on 17x9 Centerlines with the 4.5" backspacing and -12mm offset ( clears caliper with those wheel specs) There is alittle room of about 3/4" or more at full lock. Who knows they may work with those 295's, order up a 1/4" wheel adapter/spacer from Wheelers Offroad, but then you aren't going to have many threads left for the lugs. It would then probably be necessary to get longer ARP studs so you dont end up snapping the stock ones off. If it ends up not clearing like you said, you've got those wheel spacers
I say just get the 295s with the 17x9 with the given wheel specs and go for it. Then tell us if it works or not. Most people aren't clear enough on "Aftermarket wheels" and their specs to help on issues and where it rubs like mad. What kind of tire and especially what brand has a lot to do with if it rubs or not. Mud Terrains for instance have outer lugs on the sidewalls and usually rubs the inner frame as what I experience on my 305/70/16's (33.1x12.3) using 16x8 Wheelers Offroad steelies with the 4" backspacing wheels. And even with my coilovers set at 2.5" of Lift it still rubbed the pinchweld before trimming as well as the plastic inner fender, mud flaps. Have fun fitting those 295's. Its going to take some work
