What's the widest wheel & tire spec a coupe can handle without sacrificing too much turning radius and rubbing on a mild drop?

Im running a 255 up front and a 285 in the rear. Im not dropped, but I have no issues with rubbing or turning. I think I could drop it an inch and be ok. Actual specs and a pic are in my build thread.

There are too many variables to list but pretty much anything is possible, just depends on if you're willing to mod the fenders, run hella camber or how slammed you wanna be.

I had posted something in this thread ( post #4) that you might find generally helpful when looking at wheel specs. https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-cou...el-offset.html

As others mentioned there are a lot of other variables to consider but used the tool linked in my post to help me in my setup
