I'm in the office today and was thinking about some newer tires I got for my rear and curious if ill have rubbing issues. When I get off ill try them on just figured I could get some opinions till then.

Ill be switching from a 275/40/17 to a 295/45/17. Should be about inch and a half to two inches taller. These are just for my rears. I am lowered on eibach pro kit. Will I need to change springs or anything?

i dont see how 5mm sidewall difference equals out to 2 inches but they should fit no problem

its not a 5mm sidewall diff, the second number (i.e. 45) is a percentage of the width. so 45% of 295mm is a big diff from 40% of 275mm

295/45/17 = 27.45"
275/40/17 = 25.66"

Your rear tires will be .56" closer to the wheel well openings.
