Widest tire on a 10" wheel
FRRP offers a 19" x 10" wheel that matches my Performance Package wheels on my 2011 GT 500. They should have made them std. on the car instead of the 20 x 9.5 wheels on the rears. I will be buying those shortly & running 305's out back. The car is awesome in all respects save one, it is traction challenged. The current 285's arent up to the job.

A wide tire that never rubs or rubs lightly for someone who takes it easy can be shredded by someone pulling max Gs. Or a tire might fit with one wheel backspacing but rub with another. A tire might rub at high Gs with stock suspension but not at all with control arms with spherical bearings. And I assume you mean advertised tire size and some brand/models with the same size designation can vary in actual width; if not straying from manufacturer recommendations that's never an issue but if you go wider...... I know that doesn't answer the question, but wanted to mention some things to add to your analysis.

Yes you can pinch a 305 on a 10" wide rim, but it will have no benefit other than the bragging right that you have a 305 out back. The minimum rim width that 99% of what most manafacturers recommend for a 305 is a 10.5" width rim. A 10" rim properly suppports a 285 width tire. I wouldn't go beyond this. Yes a 295 will fit as a max but the sidewall won't properly be supported.

Wheel Offset
I think the only way 305's will fit is if you have a wheel offset that has at least a 45mm offset (larger the mm offset, the outside rims will go in towards the inner part of the fender).

Does anyone know the size of the V6 PP wheels? What's the widest tires I can run on them? Right now they're 255/40

I think they are 9 inch wide. You 'might' be able to go with 275 wide tires. My V-6 came with 235 tires on 8 inch wide wheels, i 'might' go with 255 wide tires when these wear out.

Aw, and I wanted to go wider. Oh well. I like the wheels and the 255, as opposed to the 235 without the package, isn't too bad
Thanks.
Thanks.
