Just make sure you don't take bumps at fast speeds.

Rear clears without a problem.
Front need to roll/cut the fender and remove the inner fender liner.
What are the widths of your rims?

I ran 305/25-20 with an aggressive offset and made it work.

Fender shaving isn't that big of a deal. Not like the car is a Bugatti or something!
No one said it wouldnt fit. i just started reading various threads, one guy with the same rims asking if it will rub, the guy i bought the rims from said the 275s rubs, etc etc so i mean i thought maybe the 275 was a bit to big and i would have to go to a smaller tire b/c of what he said. specs of my wheels are 20x9+30 20x10.5+29

If i might ask what fender mods you got? i was thinking a 285/30 but that might be a bit too much huh??? I mean the fender is getting completely shaved off though. But im thinking if i run a wider tire i might just end up wearing them down faster also!!
anwyays ill see....

From the angles of the pics, I am not sure what you mean by fit. The wheel will obviously bolt on without hitting anything. The trick is will it rub when the suspension compresses.

One quickie test/trick is to SLOWLY back the wheel up on to curb. I usually use the "edges" of my driveway entrance. It would be best to have a second person observe. As the wheel gets pushed up into the wheelwell, you can see the travel and check to see it it will hit the fender.

Good luck.

i got 19x8.5 with 245/40/19 off of rear g35 tires and 19x9.5 285/35/19 off of c6 corvette run flats in the back and im on nf210s i do rub little in the back with q-panel rolled when i put my wife& my 7month old sun inthe back with stroller in the trunk.
front seems to be ok but if i run of bumpy road fast i do hit my fender liner and when i reverse and turn the wheel all the way to one side it seems like tire touches fender liner a little bit need hit gun to fix that problem...

ohhh also i have -2.0 camber in the back ^^

It's not that wide, I know but it fits and clears perfect. I wanted to go lower, but I'm not on air... and there's a lot of speed bumps......

Ofcourse it fits! I've been running 275 for years and before that 285, but you go 255 on the front? I would recommend 245 largest..245ft275rr

You are going to rub, unless you mod the fenders.

well if hes running a 255 in the front i think you will be fine with a 245 in the front.


i went to like 3-5 places yesterday to shop for tires everyone told me like 800-1200 for tires in the sizes i want.

And then i call a guy i use to buy used tires from and i just asked him prices for 285/30/20 and a 275/30/20!! man he told me 160 for the 285 and 150 for the 275!! I even work with a guy whose a wholesaler who sales tires. this guy gets tires for a good price like falkens, nitto etc etc and he told me he paid 100 for one of his and that was a 245/35/20!! And then he told me tires sellers mark up those tires like 200% . I mean call me cheap i dont give a crap but im trying to do my hw to get the best price out there.

anyways im going to have to wait till monday to order them. i am gona either from the guy i work with or the guy i use to buy used tires from!!!
