Help With Wheel Question A.s.a.p

Does anyone know if I can put 285/35/19 on EVO 9.5 rear wheel? will this fit on a sedan? I really do not want to lower the rear of the car if at all possilbe.Do not know if the 285 is to wide to clear the rear fenders. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks

^ without dropping, i believe it will be fine, but damn meaty looking. if you lower, you'll hit the fender.


on a side note: your swap meet thing is cracks!! hella funny!

I am not a sedan wheel/tire fitment expert, but I think you will have rubbing issues. I know people are running 275/30/19 in the rear without problems.

Yes. 275 is actually the optimum width for a 9.5" wheel, according to Tire Rack.

Dude that's overkill man, 275 max on the sedan. I'd go with 265, I mean that much rubber is excessive.

thanks for all the input, i'm trying to avoid the problem that my friend has with his car who is running the standard 245-35 front and 275-30 rears, who after lowering it 1.1" still has a 2" gap in the rear but the front looks right. so i'm trying to fill the rear fender gap with having to lowering it too much. maybe a 265-40?

Well your friend's problem was that he was supposed to have a 275/35-19, not a 275/30-19.
