I'm trying to get the widest tire in the REAR possible for these wheels. I was thinking 275's would be perfect. But could I get 285's with a spacer or or those too big for the wheels?

For the front do you think I could get more that 245's? These will be for track only use.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Same wheels and tire setup here. Lowered on H&R sports and both sides rub alot. No way you can fit 285's unless you are not lowered. If you are lowered an offset of +40 - +45 will work.

I prefer oversteer more than understeer and as we all know, more understeer will be induced with wider wheels/tires on the rear. So the max I personally would go up to is 275 and maybe, maybe 285.

Thanks for the explanation! Would you recommend running 275 in the rear with 235 in the front or 245? for a better balance?
