If I have the rear Fender rolled would I be able to run 275 30 19's on the rear...

Ok so here is my math... I am running 245 40 19's with no rubbing.

a 245mm wide tire is 9.65in wide and a 275mm tire is 10.83in wide.

the difference is 1.18in and you divide that by 2 to get .59in on each side of the rim.

The lip of the fender is about .70in wide and if i roll that much I should be clear....

What do you guys think?

Yup...no issues. A lot of guys with sedans run 275...just roll the fenders and you should be good.

How much did you pay for the roller?

It cost me 64 bux to rent it...

Not bad and they ship it to me with a heat gun too!

I can't wait. Then I am going to buy General Exclaims 275 30 19 and 245 35 19...

Then the car will be looking sweet!

You are going to have a hard time fitting 275's on a 33 offset unless you run a good amount of negative camber. I'm talking about 2 degrees. That number seems like alot, but the range for alignment in the rear for camber on the coupe is .3 / -1.8. I use alignment specs for the coupe when I get my aligments, especially since the car is lowered. 265 may be a better option or 255. 275 is going to be difficult to pull off.

The tire size is 275 30 19 not 275 35 19 so they will be shorter.

I their a way to get rid of some of the offset?

And by adjusting the camber to -1.8 will that make the tires to ware unevenly?

I did the math of the tire and it should only be .59 of an inch wider on each side than the 245 40 19's

I am also going to lower my car with the 06 350z suspension that RCA has for sale.

Please help me lol!

I hope you are using the specific manufacturer's dimensions and not calculating based on treadwidth. Different tires have different measured dimensions than their standard dimensions.
