275/35 in Rear, does it fit?
 

I'm running 18x9.5 RPF1's, 255 currently. I want a more squared look with the tire and more bite in the rear and before I make any orders, does anyone here run 275 in the rear? If so, any issues at all? Thanks in advance.

265's fit with some camber, but I've never seen anyone try 275's yet.

There is a thread somewhere on here. Volk's 18x10 +44 with 275/35 all around.


But 18x9.5 +38, IDK... As stated above, 265 will work. What tire are you planning?




Found it! Pics, sadly are broken...

There are a few people that have run 275's it really depends on the wheel and offset on if it will clear and also if you don't mind rolling/pulling the fenders. I believe most I've seen were on +40 to +45

I'm not going to dig through and find the specific post but there are a few in the meaty tire thread here:

275? That's a lot of rubber for these cars

It can fit depending on offset

This amazing SM car did it

Do it and post pics.

A staggered stagger, interesting. Also, 295 in the rear... Very interesting!

I have 18x9,5" ET35 fitted with street 275/35s in the rear.
Haven't rolled the fenders and no pull, forced me to have around 5,5 degrees of camber this summer. Wouldn't recomend it if your looking for performance.
Going for 18x9,5 ET38 with some clubsport 255/35s this year, rolling the fenders and pulling them a bit.

Compound >>> width, unless you're already running a super grippy tire you can easily improve grip by just running a better one.

Well if he can fit a 295 I should be able to fit a 275 I guess. I'm not sure if people say it won't work because their cars are slammed but I run fairly high in the back, higher than that guy is in the photo with the 295s. I really just want some meat in the back for looks.

I'm running with Firehawk Indy 500's all around and they're mint. It's just 255 is fairly stretched on my 9.5 rims.

How low were you running?
