Tire fit question
will a ECSTA MX 265/40-17 tires on a rear rim that is 17x9
what is the widest I can get away with......my S is not lowered
255 I have read is fine but could I go with something like 265, 275 or even 285
the offset is +62mm
I wll be ordering the tires after I get a response
....thnx for your time,
Dave

I would say it is not a good option. You would have a tire that is almost 1/2" taller tire on the back of the car. You could throw off the anti lock brakes. I also don't think it will improve the performance. I think you will end up with more understeer and maybe rubbing on the rear.
If I can help let me know.
