Anyone run 275/40/18 on the stock 18" Rims in the rears?

Was thinking of replacing my tires with these...

Thanks, any issues with rubbing or clearance? What size did you run in the front?

Yeah, that is unbelievable, I didn't even know that was possible. Did you have to get spacers or something?

That makes more sense. So you ran 275/40/18 on the stock rims? Did the shop have any problem getting them on the wheel?

But... The 275/40 tire's specs call for a wider rim (9 inch minimum). Aren't the G stock rims too narrow for a 275?

From my research of tire rack info I replaced my pilot sports with 245-40/18 on the front and 255-45/18 on the rear (BFG-KDW2's)...that's the largest I was willing to go with on the factory 18X8 coupe rims.

well from my 2 times of buying tires, I was able to fit a 275 on the stock 18 and the shop didn't have any issues with installing them.
