Official Aggressive Wheels & Fat Tires Thread
You can fit a 255 on a 8.5" wheel... so lets go ahead and take out 1/3 of the entries on this thread and throw them out.
I'm running them on my car and I can tell you they are slightly small for the 11 inch wide wheel. A 275 will be small for that wheel in this thread. I'm not trying to argue with anyone, but a 265 on a 10.5 inch wheel and a 275 on an 11 are too streched for this thread.
BTW, good choice on those F14's Ron, gonna look good on your Z.

looking forward to F14s
What would you guys recommend for a 20x12 inch? Im not good with offsets. If i wanna do 20x9 and 20x12 what offsets would be reasonable? im looking at the forgestar cf5. as far as tires im having a hard time finding anything all season over 295. im wanna go for 255 30 20 and 305 30 20

To fit a 12" rear without hellaflush camber, there is a very narrow window of offsets. Anything higher than about a +33 will hit the suspension, and anything lower than about +29 will be poking. You'll need a fender roll no matter what.
ANyone Know If A 325/30/19 will fit on my 19x11 +25?
I currently have a 285/30 and its way to stretched for my taste.
Fenders Rolled and mild Drop on Tanabe's GF210'S?

Sounds a lot more like you're talking about an 11 inch wide wheel. A 12 inch wheel will poke without hellaflush camber no matter what. I just clear the suspension and will be perfectly flush once I adjust my camber down to about -1.3 and I'm running an 11 inch wide wheel.

To answer your question about the 12 inch wide wheel, I am running an 18x11 +30 in the rear and here is a pic of my inner clearance:
Even though it looks like there is lots of room my wheel just contacted my damper at about -2.8 camber when going through a dip. Had to reduce my camber. To run a 12 inch wide wheel you will need a bit of camber if you have any kind of fat tire on your car.
A 12 inch wide wheel has the same inner clearance as you can see in my pic above at +17.
Run a higher offset at your own risk, mine contacted my damper.
At that offset your wheel will be poking for sure, my recommendation to you is to just run an 11 inch with wheel if you want to run fat tires. 12 inch wheels are for hellaflush setups on the Z.

Yes..but within accepted manufacturer's tire specs. I have 245/40s up front on 9.5s....pretty much the same *stretch*..fits nice and handles very well.
I have 275s on my current set up and they're NEW, so a swap makes sense. I don't want 285/35s (too short). My best bet would be 285/40s...but they're not readily available in as many brands.
BTW...here's a pic (NOT MINE!) of 275/35/18s on 18X11 (front pair) and 315/30/18 on 18X12.5s (rear pair). Same relative *stretch*, but the 315s are *approved* to only 11.5"
