You can fit the 295s but it'll bulge a little… I'd definitely stay away from any 295s that run wide. I'm only running the 19/20 setup because I can't bring myself to sell the 763s even tho I want to because BMW stock wheels for F8X are pretty undersized in width... the RF GT4s, Titan TS-5s are much more friendly at 9.5/10.5 widths. Apex VS-5RS is another great options with even more sizes than RF or Titan.
If you're looking to hook then it's probably worthwhile down sizing your wheels - more compliance for a better hook and better tire selection as well.

LMK how they do! I'm not too worried with 295s on the 666m and I'll likely go with Cup Connects in whatever size I end up with.
The car will be 99% street driven, so definitely sticking with 20s even if that does cost some in traction. Oddly enough, there are a lot of sticky tire options in 20s for the rear, but almost nothing matching for the fronts. 19f/20r has a lot of options.

Oh, these weren't on my radar at all! They only made 18s and 19s. However, looks like they are releasing the VS-5RS in F: 20x9.5 5x120 +22 / R: 20x11 5x120 +44 in August! Same sizes and ET as both the Titan7 and Richland. That setup will accommodate a 265 or 275 front with 305 rear. Will keep them on my radar, but seems they will run a bit more expensive.
