What’s the widest wheel you can put on the rear of the is 300? And what’s the biggest size tire you can put on that wheel, without fender flares?

I had a 265/30-19 on my car. Fits nice. I didn't even have to cut anything.

it really depends on your offset..

EX. if you had a 40 offset you can go wide as 255 rear

w/ 45 (stock offset) i say a 245 but i recommend 235 =)

Charles Park (ISMan) has 295/35/18 on a 18*10 wheel on his car...told me he could put up to a 315...all depends on how much work you want to do...

When you set the car with rims that size like 19x 10, is the car at stock ride height or is it lowered? Any one running 17x 10’s? Would 17x10’s work with a 2 in drop?
