RE: Fattest Possible Rear Tire?
Well i'm running 18 inch rims with 245s 45 18 tires, they rub occasionally on the outside of the bumper. This is with the 36mm offset. Now i have 9 inch wide rims so i'm sure i'll be able to put 275s on there but i'm sure those would rub even more especially if the car is lowered. Well i don't think you can put 295 on 18s in the back there unless you modify your bumper.

I have 275's on 17x9 rims with a 36mm offset. They originally rubbed over bumps but a fender roll took care of that. You can fit much more then 275 just have to put the tire on the inside of the car insted of offsetting out. The with the cirrect backspacing I'm sure you can fit 295's with no mods and probably 315's with minor sway bar mods. It's all about the backspacing.
