Biggest size tire thats going to fit on the rear?

I just bought a new set of Toyo Proxes for the front wheels, due to a flat this weekend...and I'm looking to upgrade the rear sometime in the future. Just wondering if anyone knows whats the largest size that'd fit...I'm currently running 275/35's for the rear.

How wide do you need to go? How much power are you putting down? And what width of wheel are you running?

I've seen 315s on the rear of a flared FD.

I have 285/30s right now...stock suspension, too! But if your rims are 18s, DEFINITELY don't get a 30 profile in the rear. It's too thin (but it's kinda too late for me to do anything about that). Stick w/ a 35 profile.

I've got 18x10 in the rear, and i think its a 295, im not sure I havent been around my car for a month now.


BTW- 295 is a tight tight fit, but my car is also lowered 1.25"

LOL...yea but a) I don't think they'd fit on the rim (the rears are only 10s), and b) Falken doesn't make tires larger than 285s (I'm running the FK-451s, which are IMO one of the best tires for the money, period)
