: : Another organization told me that I could get a 275 tire on a 18x9.5. Does this indicate that I could (safely and without too much sidewall flex) put a 285 on the rear?

:
: Yes, you can ! I'm running 275/35 on the 10" and seems just barely wide enough. So for the 10" the best size would be 315 but that is too wide for the 8 series without modifications. I've seen an 8 series running 335/30ZR18 on the rear, but the rear end was wider than a stock.
: BTW : Are u selling your OEM CSi wheels then ?

Hadn't thought about selling them. Do you know anybody who would be interested? The tires are Bridgestone Potenza S-02 Pole Positions < 1200 miles on them.
