thats pretty wide....fenders at LEAST will have to be rolled. And you need like no offset so.....I don't think you can have it fit and clear the brembos. Just go with 275...

For that width of a tire, i'd recommend a 10" to 10.5" rear. With a stock suspension, I doubt the tires will rub. However, with any drop.. I believe it'll rub. Rolling the fenders will be necessary to avoid rubbing issues.

I have black Volk Racing GT-C's 10.5" and had 295/35 rears (5% ratio difference). The car was dropped on Eibach Pro's with Koni yellows. The drop was around an inch to a quarter more. The rear tires rubbed severly without the camber alignment over the slightest jolt. I could imagine how much the damage would be with a camber alignment.


Fatties at the rear!


Please excuse the flith. Note how flush the rear tire sidewalls are to the lip.

Why? Everyone always trips on chrome but wants a fat heavy tire. Makes no sense.

I pretty sure 295-30-19 will rub with any low. I was used the same set up before with HKS dropped. Now has to switch back to 285-30-19.

I had 295 - 30 - 19's P Zero's on 10" wheel...No rubbing issues riding stock suspension. Tires felt way mushy compared to the 275's I previously ran.

It felt like the sidewalls were giving big time when cornering hard, almost like the tire could seperate from the wheel at any time.
