TOO BIG! The biggest that you can go that should work is 18x8 in the front with a 225 or 235/40 tire with 4.75" to 5" of backspace. In the rear 20x8.5 with a 255/35 tire with 5.25 to 5.5" of back space. Since lots of people have fit a 17 or 18x9.5 in the rear with a 275 tire you may be able to fit a 20x9.5 with 5.5 to 5.75" of back space with a 275/35 tire but I have not actually seen this combo in person so I don't know how tight it is. The sizes I gave you DO work I've seen it done. Do a search this has been discussed here several times. There is also a post from not long ago with pictures. When you go max sizes lots of variables come into play - like what kind of brakes and ride height. Measure carefully - both sides - buy once. Good luck.

You can do it with those tire sizes but the offsets on the wheels will change. Secondly, here is the rub, you must change to an aftermarket subframe and mini-tub the rear. That is the only way.ynnam1 said:
