06' Tire question
I have an 06' enth. and was wondering if 265 would work in the rear.

265/40/18 is pushing it on an 8.5" wheel, but should work. I would not, however put them on an 8" wheel. You can put 245/40/18 on the front 8.0" wheel, and have a nice handling "Z".

My apologies. I meant tire width. For the 8.5 inch wheel, 245mm is standard. For safety, I recommend no more than plus 20mm. So 265mm is fine.

It'll work, plus you'll get a lot more rim protection from the concave effect of the tire.

how wide
Do you want wider tires? or you want to increase your base.

Yeah the stock tire width is 245 in the rear so I figured 265 would be ok but just wanted to make sure.
