Rear view pics

Who ever has pictures of their cars from behind so you can see the rears, Id like to see them.
Also, I know its here somewhere, but I tried searching, and didn't find anything. 285 is the widest tire you can put on stock WS6 wheels right?

Thanks guys

The stock WS6 wheel is 9" wide. According to the sticky the widest tire would be a 275.

Ok, wasn't sure how wide the wheel was, but I could have sworn someone said they put 285s on them...

People put 285s on 9" wheels, but they really belong on 9.5"+. I personnally dont see a big problem, but its a sore subject in this forum.

I think it's pointless to put 285's on a 9" or even a 9.5" wheel, it's not like you'll really see the difference.

As far as rear shots go...here you go...

People preach about the tire size stuff. Not all tires are made the same! A BFG will always have a wider footprint than a lot of other tires such as the Nitto, or Goodyear. I had 285/40 BF Goodrich KDW on my 17x9 35th SS wheels. The tread is almost the same as my 315 Nitto 555R's.
