Aggressive offset tire help.....

I'm looking for some insight from people running an aggressive offset.

The rears are 20x10 +31.

I'm interested in knowing if I can run run a 275/30/20 or should I play it safe and run a 265/30/20.

The fenders will be rolled and pulled. Possibly some negative camber.

Not looking to slam the car or anything. Just be able to run it in S2.

Help is appreciated.

I think that would work with a 275 and no fender rolling but I'm by no means a master on offset for this car.

for comparison, im running 19x9.5 +35. 285/30-19. dropped about 1", and in s2, I tuck tire in the back. no rubbing, possibly only a couple mm of clearance.

this calculator, http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp , says it will extend out 10mm over my setup.

275/30 is too tall. If you're not slamming, a 275/25 may work. For reference, I run a 20x10.5 +32 with a 265/30, also rolled and pulled fenders, but I'm slammed.

Does anyone even make a 275/25/20? I haven't seen any on tirerack or discount tire.

The extra height was one of the things that concerned me.

I don't have any plans to slam the car. Just sport 2.

Yokohamas tend to run wide increasing your chances of rubbing. Nitto invo comes in a 275/25 as well and the sidewall is more rounded

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Why not

19's?
19x8.5 30et 245/35R19 19x9.5 31et 275/30R19

Brabus ran 20 by 10 on a 38et with 285/25/20's on the rear but that was stuffed and massaged in every direction.

You won't like your ride quality much anymore on 20's
but that's your choice

i just found some Falken FK452 but i think the 265's might be too wide after the low drop

Falken FK452's are probably some of the widest running tires I've ever owned.
