Default How stretched would a 295 tire be on a 11.5" wheel?

I'm most likely going to buy CCW Classics in their "big street" package sizes this go around which are 18x10 an 18x11.5. They typically come with 275s and 315s, but my current tires are 275s and 295s and I don't want to buy new rear tires if I don't have to.

My tires were previously on my old CCWs which were 18x9.5 and 18x11s. The 275s will be perfect on the 10" wheels, but I'm wondering if the 295 will look wierd with the extra 1/2" of wheel. Not trying to slam/poke/stretch the Z06.

i dont think its going to look bad, but it comparison to the front it might look a little funny cause its going to have alittle more stretch.
