Looking at the comparison chart Here: https://tiresize.com/comparison/. The 305's are slightly wider, where as the 295's are slightly taller. Which explains the amount of fender gap
I'm experiencing.

18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. Absolutely love the TSW wheels. They provide great clearance for my C6 Z06 calipers and rotors. Very light weight and so far have been a great enhancement in looks and performance.
