All this talk of camber and so little talk of offset.

Yes, it is very easy to run 295s in the back without crazy negative camber as long as the offset is correct. There was a 1st gen sedan owner in the classifieds selling his set up which had 295-30-20 rears on 20x10.5 +54 offset rims or something like that. He didn't have to run massively negative camber.

So with a +54 offset, the rim would be very shallow and small lippage, correct? From looking at the spreadsheet of what people are running, most are running the rears with offsets ranging from +40 to +45 and front around +35 to +38. I want to achieve maximum lippage without having to run excessive amounts of camber.

Yes. You will have a small lip with a +54 offset rim. I guess I was more addressing the comments about whether 295s could fit a sedan.

In your case, on a 10" rim, you can run rear offsets of around +35 to +45. +35 would require somewhat more negative camber, or you can always go with 255 width tires. That would help clearance a bit w/o having to run as much negative camber if you're offsets are closer to the +35 side of things.

For the front, you can easily run a +25 to +30 offset on a 8.5" or 9" rim. However, you will have to ensure there is adequate brake caliper clearance.
