Widest Tires?

What are the widest tires that can fit on the rear of the coupe? My brother's rims on his M3 are 19x10" rears. I like the way the M looks from the back, how it sits low and wide. I am getting new rims for my G soon, and was wondering how I can get it to look as wide as the M from the back. Can I go wider than 10 inch in the rear tires? maybe 10.5? I don't want to risk handling, or speed, or anything..What is best? What is the best size tire for the fronts also? I am getting 19" rims. Thanks.

Kyle

19 x 8.5 front
19 x 10 rear

This is a pretty reasonable setup. Beyond this and you will probably have to start rolling fenders and stuff like that.

Also, you can ask the guys on tirerack.com. They offer a wealth of information.

Good luck!

I have 19 x 10.5 in back with +43 offset. Tires are 275/35/19. This did not require anything but bolting the wheel on and I have experienced no rub. I have heard that 295 can be done but have no direct experience with that setup.
