Will a 255 45 20 fit the rear without rubbing?

Just get some 15" wheel covers and put them on..

Wal Mart's got some good prices......the spinner hubcap covers would look awesome on your car.....trust me

Would love too but am worried someone will take off with my Spinners!

very true.....why spend all that money on the caps if someone's gonna steal them.........jeez...

255 is nice, but not sure if a 45 series tire on 20" will fit in the rear.

I had 255/35/20-9.7's on one side of my car for a few weeks... (long story - dealership mishap) NO RUBBING. The front was VERY close to rubbing though when the wheel was turned slightly in either direction, but there was 1-2mm of clearence. No issue in the rear at all. You probably could run 255/45's back there without a problem... now, I have 245/35/20-9.5's all around and that is what is generally recommended for this car...

It all depends on the offset of the wheel. Anything lower than about a 45mm offset and you likely need to roll your fender lip to get it to fit. Anything lower than 40mm with a 255, and all bets are off. 45 series is gonna be about 2" larger than it should be. You'll have a chance if it's a 35 series.

I believe the original diameter of the stock wheels is approx 25.9". The V diameter is approx 26.7". 255/45x20" are approx 29.1" Add on the extra width and...who knows.

They will rub without question.

You will need 30 series rubber in the rear.
