Will a bigger tire fit on stock rims?
Will a bigger tire fit on stock rims?
So I have a CS and I belive that's a 18x8.5 wheel. I was wondering if it's at all possible to fit some 275s all around with that rim. It seems like it's stretching it but I wanted to know if it was possible. I really like the look of that rim but I want fatter tires.
Well i'm pretty set on 275s so looks like the stock wheels are out. Thanks for the the informaton guys. 
Next question, in everyone's opinion: Would Silver RTRs or Black RTRs look better on a ingot silver GT/CS?

Recommended rim width for 275/40/19 is 9.5" with an acceptable range of 9"-11".
You could put them on a 8.5" rim but performance and wear would suffer.
The 275/40/19 is about the same diameter as your stock 245/45/19's so your speedo would remain unaffected.
A 255/40/19 will fit just fine, this is the size tire that comes on the V6 Perf Pack cars that uses the same basic wheel as your GT/CS but it would be about .7" shorter.
