widest tire for a 20inch rim

HI everyone,
i want to know how wide can go on a 20 inch non staggered rim.
im considering 275/40/20 or 275/45/20 in the rear of my 03 g35.

thanks

Depends on your rim width, below is the chart for Michelin PS2 for example:

You can see 275/45/20 fits 8.5-10.5" rim

Btw i think 275/45/20 is wayy to thick, they're gonna look like drag radials. you prolly want 275/35/20.

we need more information. Do you have a coupe or sedan? How wide is the wheel? Offset? Alignment settings?

you should be running 245 or 255/35/20 on that sized wheel. IMO you shouldn't even run those width wheels in the rear, its an awful size for an aftermarket wheel. You should not install a 275 on there either
