I think the biggest that you'll be able to fit on the back is 18x10. But could be wrong. I had 18x10's with 315/35/18's and they were really close to rubbing. So I would think that the wider rim would pose a greater problem. What size of tires are you wanting to run? Is the car lowered?

I'd like to know too. These skinny tires in the back are weak sauce.

I fit 10.5'' on the back of mine and it's lowered on the eibach pro-kit springs. Tires are 295/35/18.
