Default What size tires to get on G spider Rims?

I need 2 new rear tires, I was thinking about getting 265s maybe even 275s.

Does anybody know how wide you can go in the rears using the G-Spider wheels on an 2G IS?

I've been having issues figuring out the width of my G Spider wheels.
here's all i could find

Anybody know if 265 or 275s will work in the rear?

here's a pic:

with tires, you have a lot of flexability

you could stick w/ 255/35's
or
you could go with 265/35's (will look huge on the rim though)
or
you could go with 265/30's (smaller side wall though, looks weird IMO)
or
you could go with 275/30's ^^ see above comment

Man I love those rims! Where did you get them?

My stealership was trying to charge me 2800 for them and I assume they fit the stock tires?

Thanks and sorry to ask a bunch of questions!

Instead of new tires maybe go for a drop. It'll look even better.

When the dealership was looking for manual 6 speeds in neighboring states they were all bone stock. One had the G Spider wheels, ground effect kit, and HKS exhaust; I got that one.

But yes they were $2800 and came with tires.

The stock tire are 17" these are 18" so I doubt they'll fit.

They're a graphite color. Look really good IMO. I've only seen one other car with these rims and it was on a Lexus SC

Right now I'm running 225/40/18 in the front and 255/40/18 in the rear. So I have to keep the side wall at 40 correct? Would 265/40/18 fit?
