You can go with any tire you want as long as the end result is 27" in height. Anything less will look funny. I tried the 295/35/18 and it looked stupid hardly any sidewall tire for our cars. I've seen some guys go with he 295/40/18 and that would be fine because the 40 part is what gives you the height. Now a 315 in the other hand on a 10" wheel will make your car feel like shit, or atleast it did on my car. If you are looking into the KDW2's then 285/40/18's on a 10" wheel is the way to go. I did some research on these tires and on a 10" wheel you will get 11.4" wide and 27" Height, which I noticed from the pics you posted are almost as wide as the 295/40/18's you are looking into. The 295/35/18 will give you 11.9" wide but only 26.1" in height. .5" isn't all that much but remember this is on a 10" wheel. I'm sure a 10.5 wheel will make a 295 alot wider than that. I believe Stanger SC is running the same Tire I am or atleast it looks like it.
