Biggest rear rim / tires supported on S65
What is the max width that can be supported w/o rubbing? 305s on 11 inch rim? 275s are the max on the E55. My S65 slides, i need more meat out back.

305`s from what I understand but will get a little rub on a big bump.. May be able to correct with custom offset.. those cars run those on 10`s but 11 may work better.

While we are on the subject, can someone answer the same question for the w220? Thanks.
P.S. I am really not interested in getting anything larger than 19" considering where I live...

im not caculating anything... just saying from my experienced. which i have the specs on the my car currently (lowered)..
anyways.. back to the subject.. you can go as much as 275/285 like INfamous states i guess....
My opinion the bigger the tires, make the car look ugly...just get the right recommended size.. for stock height or lowered..

you might have to go down to a 18' so you can get a drag radial on it. I am throwing some 285/35/18 on my 600 because I am having serious tracking issues on some eagle f1's. Unless they now make a 20' drag radial?

I am relatively certain i can go to 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 on the back w/o any complications on the stock rims.
The question is what other options do I have (if any).

you only put the 18's on the back, they will clear the brakes. He was just talking about drag radials, I don't think anyone makes a good 19 drag that will fit. But you are swapping rear wheels for street use unless you want to replace your DR's a lot. And their cornering properties would be quite different from the fronts.
