Wider Tires...?

Has anyone tried 295's on the stock AMG rims in the rear? Seems like there's enough fender clearance but maybe the rim is too narrow???

If not - what are my options for wider rear tires? I'd probably go with PS2's.

Thanks in advance.

18x9 is way too narrow for that wide of a tire, IMO. I'd say 275 is max.

285's will work, but that's the limit as far as I know.

I will 2nd this. You need to step up to a 10in wheel for a 295 tire...

I run a 285/30/19 on a 9.5 19" ET 36 rim on the rear with 1" lowering and road course it HARD at it has never rubbed. It looks snugger than a XS wet T-shirt on an XL pig. But it works GREAT. Looks kick *** too IMO
