RE: WHAT WOULD BE THE WIDDEST TIRE I COULD PUT?

I use the Nitto 555R's 305/45-18 on Billet 18x10's out back for the street and they are a perfect fit and I am lowered about an inch with eibach springs. 28" tire - none better IMO!

They fit the fenderwell identical to my slicks - MT 28x10.5-15

I have the same rear tires as you and love the look!

Here's a picture of my *** running 285's I think they are plenty wide enough. In fact I am always getting comments about it. The comment is usually Holy crap that a fat *** tire on the back.

You can get 315's to sit flush with right rim, but that's as wide as you can go.

Steeda rims 295/35/18 out back and dontstick out a bit.Looks real mean from the rear. But knowing what I know now I would go with a little taller tire to fill the well more and a smaller rim tire combo can feel the extra rotational mass(about 7lbs per tire) slow down.

275's would be the widest I would go, but you would be better off with 265's.

Narrow your rear axle, roll the outer fender lips and get some deep dish wheels. A whole new world of tire sizes opens up. Looks pretty slick to boot!
