There are people that can probably speak to this better than myself, but I would be skeptical about the rear, ESPECIALLY if you plan on any sort of lowering.

Without doing any math 20x10 with 275mm will need more like a +45

+ 1

20x10 ET45 would be more ideal for modification/rub-free fitment

Here is another question.

What about 19x10 ET41.

What is the largest tire (width/profile) I can put on this wheel stock suspension and no fender mods.

I would like to try 295/30/19 but my personal guess is I that my safest bet would be 275/35/19.

You are mentioning about the rear wheels ?
If so, you are free to go with 275/30 or 275/35 with no worry about rubbing. So many members here are running on Weds sa 67r 19x10 et 42 on the rear with 275/30 tire on the stock suspension with out any problem of rubbing.

Thanks for the comments

Can I get away with maybe a 265/30/20 on the rear then?

Thanks for the response. Yes I am referring to the rear wheels. I was fairly sure the 275 width wouldn't be a problem. I am also wondering if I can get away with 295/30

Depends on the tire. All tire brands vary drastically.
And you don't have to go from 295 to 275, why not try 285?

295/30/19 is the same diameter as stock 255/35/19. I could use 255/35/19 for the front
285/30/19 would be a slightly smaller diameter than stock. It would be harder to match up a front tire.

Yah, but you just stated earlier you would go 275/35 19 rear. 285/30 is smaller, but 275/35 is slightly larger and throws the speedometer off more than the 285/30.
I swear, our ISF section is the only place on any car forum that strives so hard to keep the proper stock tire diameters. People want to mod their ISF, but then want to keep it close to stock? I don't understand that logic really.

I had to shave mine after rolling didn't work since they kept rubbing. Only difference is 9.5" wide on the fronts, 11" wide on rears.

Tune suspensions and you will understand it very quickly.
