Message That rear diameter is so far from stock, your speedometer will be far off and it could rub on bumps.
The 315/30/18 has a 25.5 diameter
The 295/30/18 has a 25.1 diameter

The objective is to get the wheel as wide as possible while keeping close to stock diameter.
Looks aggressive to some, but the oversized sidewall in back doesn't look right to me. I know, because I had a blow out far from home and was forced to buy new 35 series tires in back and I can't stand the look of the mismatched sidewalls front to back and am looking forward to using up these rear tires to get some correctly sized ones back on there.

But as far as the wheel's fit and looks -- awesome! I wish my wheels came in those sizes!
