widest rear tire on a 4matic?
How large of a tire can you run on the back of a 4matic? Want to run factory wheels(275x18). Want to know before buying.
Thanks

Well front to back you have to make sure you are within sidewall height tolerances to run a staggered fitment on 4-Matic front to back because width will affect sidewall height. On the stock wheel the widest tire for a square sidewall is a 245, you can go 255 without issue on the stock 8.5in wheel but you will get a little sidewall bulging.
