It does look wider. I like it. I'm not a big fan of the deep dish ones. This one looks stock at a glance but fills the back wheel wells better. I'll try to take more pics of the wheel on the car tomorrow.

Yes, it's my car. I kept the front ones stock size so it sort of has that big and littles look.

the difference between 285 and 275 wouldn't even really be noticeable, just get 275 all around so you can still rotate your tires.

Don't forget....The cost of tires for 18s are much more than 17s.

My car is factory height. My driveway is inclined so it might be what makes it look lowered.

Are they 315s on the back and do 18x10 stick out and does the bigger tire feel any diff.
