Default How wide can I go?

Guys, I just bought a TT and looking to get some new shoe. I want to run at least 275/35/18 in the rear with the car drop. What is the widest wheel i can run in the back and what offset is safe without rubbing?

Default Wheel offset calculator

Start here.. the wheel offset calculator will let you play around with widths, offsets, and spacers. 9-inch rims are the widest I have seen used, but there may be wider ones out there. I run 18x8.5 ET37 with 25mm spacers on mine.

Are you rubbing on the inside, is that why you use the 25mm spacer for?

I needed the 25's on the front to clear my Brembo's with the wheel offset that I have, I just made the rears the same to keep it looking right. My rims are right at the edge of the fender, I get a minor rub when I corner hard at the track, but for daily driving, no problem.

Do you have stock suspension?

No, I've got a Koni Sport coilover kit and I am lowered about 2 inches from stock. I added a full K-mac kit to the rear to get the camber back into spec.
