Quick tire size help!!!!

Question:

Im replacing my tires. Currently in the rear I'm running a 10.5" rim with a 275.30R20 tire. I have a G37S coupe lower with eibach pro kit.

I wanna gain some sidewall in the rear. Do you think a 275.35R20 will clear without rubbing issues with eibach drop? What about 285.30R20?

Those both SHOULD clear on Eibachs. If you hit a big dip you might rub just a little bit but it shouldn't be a problem

I got a pair of 275/35/20 Pirelli waiting in my garage. Can't wait to see how it'll look! I think the 275/30 tires are too thin.

You shouldn't have any issue with either. If so, it's nothing major.

I've got GT-7 actually with the same offsets as Loi.

Got 255.35r20 upfront and those clear great. I'm worried about going larger in the rear.

Since you have 255/35 in the front, I would go with 285/30 in the rear. It's a closer match to the front than 275/30. What kind of tires are you getting? If it's not S drives, it might be ok. If it rubs, you can always shave down the inner lining. How much negative camber?
