Default Tire replacement questions....

I am looking to replace the rear tires on my 1st gen GS due to ridiculous camber . I currently have 255/35/20's Falken's. I have been tossing around bumping the rears up to 265 or 275's. I'm done with stretched tires, even though they look great, they are not pratical. Any input as to what to go with? Any suggestions would be helpful....

Alot depends on your offsets and whether or not you have your fenders modded. If you let us know what your offsets are then we would be better suited to make a recommendation.

For reference, here's my old wheel and tire set-up in the rear

20 x 10 +38 on 285/30/20 (fenders rolled)

Offsets for front and rear are +35. My fenders are shaved a little but not all the way like yours.

265 if you want to play it safe and not mess with your fenders. 275's You might have to shave down a little more, or might not, depends on what brand tires you get - some tires have fatter sidewalls than others.
