tire help????

I am trying to find out how wide of a tire will fit in the rear of a third gen.
I want a 275 tire. Does anyone know if that size will fit without making it.

You can run a 275 without modifications, you will need a 9.5 to 10" wide wheel with a +42 to +50 offset (rear only).

Well the wheel I like are 17x10 with 35 off set. They are 5zigen Fn01r-c Hyper Black.
The reason I like these is that they only weigh 18lbs! and no terrably expensive.

I would recommend the following,

In 16" - 245/45/16
In 17" - 275/40/17
in 18" - 275/35/18

As long as the wheel specs are correct, these will fit without any issues.
