Hey everyone, I was just wondering what all would be required to fit a 275/40/18 tire under the rear of my SC300.
I have Kazera KZ-A wheels on it (+35 offset), and Tein SS coilovers that have lowered the rear at least an inch.
I can raise the rear up a tad if I need to, and I am going to see about getting the fenders rolled. Would I have to get anything else done to fit these?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I REALLY want the thick rear tire look on the car, and I think a 40 sidewall would be my best option for this.
Thanks!

I forgot to mention that the wheel is a 9.5" wide wheel. I understand that there is the wheel & tire fitment thread, but I want my question answered without guessing about other information.
When I said once again, I meant that I had another thread about this same tire problem and didn't get a straight answer. I thought that I'd try again, but I will look through the wheel & tire fitment thread to get a better idea.

Wheel/tire fitment eh....No joke but buy the wheels and tires first and slap them on the car. Then where it rubs, just roll it. Thats how you do it, get the wheels first and make it fit.

275/40 will be a little thick in there. Rear should fit no problem but would be a little thick back there. Might even be tall enough to set the speedo off by a bit. I would go with a 35 series than a 40. I currently have 255/40 R17 (Supra rears) and fit just fine although there a few members who have put 275/40s on them with good results. With 18s logic suggests that a slightly shorter sidewall will keep the overall wheel diameter close to stock.

fyi, IMHO that *****OFFICIAL WHEEL & TIRE FITMENT THREAD**** is just about ****OFFICIALLY USELESS**** half the pictures dont load and its hundreds of people saying "sweet!" and "what suspension is that?!"
You'd be better off just providing the link to http://intellexual.net/ and tell them to go to the wheel/tire size reference sheet.
