255/45 or 265/40 on stock 18 rears?

I am replacing my rear 245/45/18s and would like something a little wider. I am on stock suspension, no drop. So, can I run either a 255/45/18 or 265/40/18 and be OK? I am on stock 04 Coupe 18s (think 8" rim)

Thanks.

no. 245 is the widest you should run on an 8" wheel

Those 8" rear wheels really limit what you can put on the car.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

Looks like you need to upgrade to the coupe 19's!!

Edit: Looks like there are people running 255's on the coupe 18. Not sure if it's smart though.
