What is the largest tire i can put on the rears for my R wheels. Stock has 265-40's, I am looking at the BFG KDW 265-40 fronts and (hopefully) 335-30 rears . if not, what would be a good combo for these wheels.

if anyone is interested there is a great tire calculator at: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

Thanks for the Help

What happens when we run bigger tires on the stock rims, will it rub on the fenders???? I found these 315s on sale at tirerack.com but I don't know if they will work on my stock rims?

I have those tire on a 17x10.5" rim. They are WAY to wide for stock rims.

Widest I've seen on the Y2K "R's" would be 295 Goodrich KD's

275/35/18 front, 285/35/18 rear would be the right choice.
