    If you run some camber and roll/cut your fenders, yeah, they should fit, tire size will also be a factor

    Fenders are rolled. Tires may be a problem though the wheels come with 275/35/18. Can we run 275?

    yeah, if you take the fenders off the car, those tires will fit, I'm running 245's all the way around, so is TJ, his wheels are 7.5 inches wide with a +40 offset I believe, mine are 8 inches wide with a +38 offset, I'm planning on going with a 255 the next time around since I finally found a way to space the fenders out to fit properly :) but no way in hell 275s will fit unless you run a widebody.

    The only way a 275 would fit period is if the car is physically made a widebody car. Put it this way a 275 is 10.83 inches wide itself. That means the tire itself is at the physical limit of width already, that doesn't even include the section height when mounted on a wheel of any width. It won't fit without major mods, and I'd seriously doubt it would even work as it sits even with the wheel having a low 5" backspacing.

    It's not that wide. C5/c6 corvettes, porsches, bimmers, and tons of other cars have tires that wide.

    I saw a 03 7-series with 315 wide tires in the back, on the stock rims too

    ^that's just stupid, to have that wide of a tire on a 7 series, especially if it's stock.

    Well the car is big, so they match pretty good. Gave it a really nice stance. Plus it was a V12, they probably have wider tires than V8
