I have a 2003 Touring 6speed and i need need new shoes for the back. The rears are currently 245/45/18. What is the widest rear tire size i can install on the stock rim and still be safe?

Thanks in advance.

you can fit up to a 275

Good site. Will the 275's rub? Would i need an offset or anything or can i just mount them and go with no worries? As far as looks go, would it look like the tire is bulging off the rim? Thanks.

wouldnt reccomend a 275 on a 8" wide rim. manuf. say a 275 should at least be on a 9" rim. just fyi, i have a 255/40 on my track model rear and it looks flush, anything else would buldge.and i dont even think anything beyond a 245 should be on a 8" wide rim.
but then again, that just my .02 cents

you would want to run a 275/40 tire and no it will not rub. My friend mounted a 275 on his stock wheel and it barely fit. Honestly i'd play it safe and go with a 265/40 in the rear and a 245/40 in the front.
