Will 275s fit without rubbing?

I'm looking at buying a set of the 99 GT wheels same as those in the picture but 2 of them have 275 and 2 of them are 245 tires. Would the 275's fit in the back of a RX7 without scraping? The car also would be lowered a inch.

if u have flared or rolled rear fenders u shound be ok it depends on the profile of the tire, alos called the aspect ratio its the second # in the tires size kinda like 275/45/17 the 45 is the aspect ratio u might have a small problem with it hittin the fender on bump, but u sould be clear of the shocks and springs

275 too big in back 245 too big in front.

255 rear / 225 front is max for stock fenders.

Well the wheels already have brand new 275's on them and over half on the 245's. I'm not worried about the 245's but the 275's I am. What does it all take to roll back the fenders?

If they have 275's on them right now go put them on the car and see if it does rub.

well im pretty sure that i can use it without spacers but when i put em on it was with spacers

the back can handle such big tires because their is no turning, just worry about hitting anything on top

yeah and the best way is to just try it out

and i dont know why every keeps saying you cant do it when i have it on my car!!! with 18 inch rims
no rolled fenders or cut anything
