Simple question really who's got 275's on the back? its time to replace my tyres now the inside edges resemble slicks so just wondering who's got what and how bad the rubbing is?

Sorry mate, 235/45/17s all around... that's the limit size listed on the pillar sticker and every tire shop guy i've talked with seems to be saying there are trade offs and unless i'm gonna be drag racing what i have is the best. What sizes have you been using?

I've been told you can fit 255s all around, with the proper wheel offset of course. He probably wants 275s just for looks.

265/35/18's in the rear with eibach lowering kit and no problems. You can fit 275's but go ahead and have the fenders rolled just in case. Do a search as well, theres a few of us on here with 275's.

265/35/18's in the rear on the M parallel 9.5"ers with the M-tech suspension and no problems. i think by the looks of it the arches have already been rolled but i suspect done from new at the factory! not really tight but not a flat lip like the 525 was) my tyres look almost stretched over the rims at the moment!

i beleive the 94/95's got slightly rolled factory fenders, ive just always been told to have them rolled, if i went any wider.

What tyres are you wrapping the M-pars with? Il be getting some new 275's towards the later end of summer here.

Well I live in Central FL. and some of the roads are not that bad plus mine is not a daily driver. The ride is really not that bad as long as you keep the tires balanced and rotated, also keep the hubcentric ring in place or replaced them when there worn.
