I run 255s in the rear. No changes done to the body. I am not running stock rims though.

I'm just wondering how wide others have gone and what were the changes required to get there. I read a thread where someone said they went 245 and 275 on an ap2 with only rolling the fender. Have others gone wider with wide body kits etc.

Thanks!

I'm running a 255 on the rear OEM AP2 wheels. My car is slammed and I've still got room to run a spacer. 2.4* camber.

unless your putting a stupid amout of power to the ground, you dont really need any more tire than a 245/255. you can actually have TO MUCH tire on the ground and that will cause a lack of traction. i run 245's out back and have enough traction to run 13.5's with a 2.1 or so 60 ft.
