Good luck making those beasts fit. They are a little smaller overall diameter than stock so your speedo should be showing about 1 mph higher than actual.

Man, not alot of sidewall. Watch out for those pesky potholes. They are sweet rims. Hope you get them to fit. Back might with a little work but I don't know about those fronts. And the price, ouch. I'd stay off the gas just to preserve the rubber.

Be careful matching 2 different size tires front and rear (height wise). The ABS and Traction Control do not like it.

When the car won't run at all, you're right, you might not need those features.

If your doing an 18" rim. You should do 275/40s in the rear and 255/45 up front. If they even fit. I have no idea. But that would be the right size for you. 40s/45s, to make it ride close to stock if I remember correctly. Also, a 9" ride rim should not have a 295 wheel on it. I think max is a 265 maybe 275.
