Widest Tire for the rear on a coupe?

Who here has the widest tire set-up for the rear? Post pics and set-up info please. . .

Am trying to go from a 285/35/19 to a 305/30/19 on a 9.5 rear. . . I have 245/45/19's for the front. . .

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

That wheel is too narrow for a 305, most tire manufacturers recommend a minimum of 10.5" for that size. To put it in perspective, I have a 295/30 on a 10" wheel and the sidewall sticks out past the lip by about 2mm.

And what would be tire specs to run for a none stretched look? 255/35/20 front? 255/30?.............Rear 275/30 or 35?
Will these specs clear brembos?

Like I said, +30 is a pretty shitty offset. especially on a 20" wheel. but theres nothing wrong with spacers if you dont cheap out. if you like the wheels then buy them. if you need spacers then buy some. millions of people have spacers behind their wheels, myself included.


as per my original post, im not interesting in if it looks "week" "flush" "stance" what ever...
i just need to know if the spacers are required for those particular rims for any another reason other then looking like a mad****. IE, are they a MUST for clearing brake calipers, as per my original post/question.

Wheel spacers are not a street legal item in AU

2003 G35 sedan rims

Buying black 18 inch Tenzo R Type-M rims tomorrow for my white 2003 g35 sedan. I just wanted to know what size tires I should buy. What size tires would be the best for my g35 sedan? My car isn't lowered and has the sport package. Everything on the car at the moment is stock. I just have tints. I would really appreciate if someone told me what size tires I should buy with these rims.

Also, the rims don't come with lug nuts. Any suggestions on what lug nuts I should buy?

18x8, almost positive it's +37, 5x114.3 .

The person said they're pretty sure the wheel offset is 37mm. How do I make sure of that?

And what size tires would the rims take if the offset is 37mm.

check the back of the wheel and see if it's stamped on there.

otherwise you need to manually measure it.
