Default How wide of tires can I fit on a stock 2Gen GS3

Looking to run 18in tires just wanted to know how wide can I go without any mod? No fender rolls or anything

It also depends on the offset of the wheel...

This depends on so much. But what wheels do you have? Size, Width and offset? Running spacers?

Guys have gotten some really wide tires on these cars...

Widest I've seen is 305/30/19, but that was with shaved/rolled lips.

If you don't want to do that I'm sure you can get a 275/35/18 or 275/40/18 back there with the appropriate offset 18x9.5 wheels. And remember, ride height will influence this as well.

I’m running 275 35 20 in the rear And 20 x8.5 up front. I have 50 miles on the set up and I’m going to have to change it due to needing more beef in n the rear. I need a wheel with some radial options.

I run 275/30/19 or 19x9.5 rim rear 245/30/19 or 19x8.5 front rim with no issues. could run more. Usually can run +35 to +45 ish offset with this setup. This isnt a big setup at all, but for daily driving it rides amazing.
