Need some pics from you...

I need some rear shots of 275 size tires. I want to see how fat the tires are. I tried searching but none of the threads that came up gave shots directly behind the car where you could see the tires well enough. I plan on getting new rims pretty soon and want to see what 275s would look like from the rear. Thanks.

It's like 12" from shoulder to shoulder,
I don't have any decent rear shots, so here is what I have at the moment,






Here is video of my car where you can see the rear tires,

All I know is right now the 225 bald tires in back just aren't cutting it. The current engine combo has no problem destroying those tires, which is cool but also sux since tires are expensive Also the rims on my car are hideous looking so some nice new rims are going to look nice

does anyone have any probs w/ rubbing fomr there 275s?

my car was originally 215 65 15s but i want something wider but will stil fill well out and not rub like some 265 50s maybe

because i dont want a hugely tall tire want to keep the low look.
and goin stay w/ the 15s so anyone got pics of 265 or anything bigger then 215s on 15 inch rims?

also any probs rubbing and stuff w/ 275's or 265's?
and do u run same size on front? or skinner?
if u do run that size on frotn doesnt it affect turning/rub?

Different manufactures' 275's will appear wider or smaller than others. My 255's look about as wide as some 275's that I've seen.
