No need to mini tub unless you're just after "the look." You can minitub and put wide tires, but then you run into the risk of rubbing lower control arms and shocks/springs. There are offset control arms and coilovers available however.
I have seen 275's under the back of foxes without a minitub. What would you need more than a 275 for?

I mini-tubbed the coupe I had and with coil-overs and aftermarket LCA's I could fit a 28x10.5w with ease on a stock length housing. My wheels were 10" wide with 7.5" backspace

even with the 295 you need more wheel to have it handle better. It would be cheaper to buy another set of wheels/tires for street use to maintain safe handling.
295 wide tire needs at least a 10 inch wheel

A 295/45 is going to be really tall. I'd use either a 295/40 or 315/35 on a 10-10.5" wheel. I had 295 BFG KDW's on my 18x10 Saleens and they were just about the perfect width for the wheels.
