Anyone know what the biggest size tire u can put in the rear on our SL. I think there to much of the rim showing. They're 275/30/20.

That not true cuz I have 20x9 F & 20x11 R now on the car and the reason I'm asking about a wider tire.

However, as per subject - 275/30-20 on 11" wheels - I stand by what I stated. I said safely and properly, meaning recommended by tires' manufacturers - 10" is max for 275/30-20, while 11" is recommended for 305/25-20.
275/30 on 11" is a major stretch for tires with usual for the size section width (10.9") and extreme for those few narrower section width (10.5"). I do not know which brand of tires you have nor for some reason can zoom into the pictures to see.

You're correct about that - I never read above posts prior to your last question.

Well I change the rear wheel for 305/25/20 and they set very well on the car. Now I have two like new Hankook Ventus V12 275/30/20 maybe 50 miles on them. PM me if you like to get them no low ball but with give a great price.

Just to add to the conversation, I have Hankook V12 EVO's, 305-25-20 on my BBS CH-R, 20x10.5 wheel. Fit is perfect. I have 20x9 in the front with 255-30-20. Ride is something out of hell. Harshest ride I have ever been in. Every crack in the road feels like I am hitting a curb. Bent and cracked a wheel already.
Gonna put my lightweight 19" wheels on pretty soon...

Looking closely your 275 tyres are really stretched to the limit on a 11inch
wide rim. Standard wheels always seem to have 285 tyres so 275 is too
small width wise.
