Doesn't the 55 already have rolled fenders... is that why "55 on it" can accomodate the 275 rear tires??

.
You are correct. But, the other issue is the shape of the tire. Some tires are more "square" shaped then others.

I have 275s on the rear with stock pads. The rear of the car is slightly lowered because of the hundreds-pounds audio system that I have in the trunk.

Oh that doesn't look too bad. I thought 275 might start to look gaudy. But that looks fine. Nitto 555s too. NICE RIMS!
