Thumbs up What is the widest tire you can mount on rear?

On a stock Honda S rear rim, can I mount a 255-40-17? or will it rub?

You'll be straight, AP2 I assume?

The CR has it.

you need to have little more camber, but it really depends on the tire manufacturer. some are wider than others, even when they have the same size (ex:255).

but on stock rims, it shouldn't be a problem.

i have 255/40/17 on ap1 back with oem camber and i rub on falken but my offsets different than stock rims.

need more camber...
