Im thinking about going to oa 275/40/18 in the rear since i will need to replace the backs soon and wanted to know if anyone else has run this size on the stock rim?

i'm running a 265/40 on my stockers (rear) with no issues. a 275 might fit but I think that it is a little to wide for the stock size wheel.

so does putting a tire wider than 255/40/R18 on the rear stock 18 do anything performance wise or is it just for looks?
I'd imagine the contact patch might be a bit bigger so you'd get more traction but use more gas and pay more for the wider tire.
