I have a 89 TII and Im looking to go with a larger tire. Right now I have Tein type Flex suspension and am running a 255x35x18 Bridgestone Potenza SO-3 on all 4 corners. If I recall I think the rim width is an 8.5 BUT I have no idea what the rim off set is. Im looking to get a new set of rims (still staying with 18's) but I am wanting to run a 275 in the rear and keep the 255 in the front.
I saw on a few different threads people talking about being able to put the 275 in the rear without wider quarter panels is this true? I really dont want to put wider quarters on even though they look cool as hell.
So come on guys need a little help here what off set do I need to run the 275 under stock quarter panels???? OR am I **** out of luck??

 

Not going to happen under stock fenders, especially the fronts.
Some 275's might fit in back, but there is no way a 255 will fit under the stock fenders, even with the Teins.

I know it wont fit in the front. I have cork sport fenders thats how im running the 255s in the front so those are not the concern, the concern is what offset would I need to get a 275 in the rear under the stock quarter panels if i was running a 9.5" rim?

 

I can't give you an answer, cause in my experience, 275's do not fit under the stock rear fenders.

Whats the largest tire you've ever ran in the rear under stock fenders?

 

255 in the rear no problem.

I'm running a 255 right now. I see no problem getting a larger tire under the fender with the right offset. I just dont know how to figure out the correct one thats all.
See Im running 255X35X18 on all 4 corners. Yeah sure I have larger front fenders but to me it looks like I still have room to grow in the rear, take a look.....
