I calculated sizes.. Could I just run 295-30 all around which produces I think 737-38 revs or whatever it is and is closest to stock?? I could manage doing this instead of changing all fours.. I also checked for the 285 And they gave me worse numbers than 295.

OEM is 726 revs per mile, which is matched by the 285/30/22 Continental DWS - other tire types may vary slightly.

Going with a square 295/30/22 setup would probably work (though your speedometer would read a bit under your actual speed) but a 9.5" width seems to be just under the recommended width of 10-11". You could also run into clearance issues, since 295 is pretty wide in the front.

I'd check the specs on the tires you have and see what they recommend for wheel widths. Heck, since you already own the 295s, maybe mount one on the front and see how it looks?
