I run 295 up front and 315 in the rear without issue. CCW 505a, but I am not sure if the stock ones have the correct offset.

The stock wheels are 17s up front and 18s on the rear.
I have run a 265 up front with stock size rear and did not like it.

I would have gone with 19in all around except there are not enough tire choices out there especially for sticky tires.

Honestly I dont recommend 295s up front for a daily driver or for someone that travels on roads with deep truck ruts in it.
a wider tire will follow the groves in the road and can be quite hard to manage.
My car is mostly used on weekends and at the track (this package is a wet weather backup for the track so the 295s are great for that).
