Ok

So next time how about starting the thread with I bought some wheels that are 19x10.5 with an offset of 52. The vendor suggest a 275/30/19 on it can I / should I get away with a wider tire/taller profile?

Dell: I realize these wheels are not ideal, I wouldn't buy them or recommend them to a friend... but 5mm further out than the glorious GT3 rear 18x11 ET63 is not really that big of deal provided he had say 2 degrees of negative camber.

Just for illustration purposes here is a picture of a 19x10.5 with ET52 and a 275/30/19 mounted. Not my style but it is also not "all wrong"

There; I've done my good deed...

Paul, I can't imagine that he can get -2 in the rear nor want it on the street. But the whole RD is still be ignored. My work is done here

All I can tell Cory at this point is "do what ya like "

Paul, that is exactly what I was looking for, a 275 on a 10.5".

Like I stated earlier, I know the offset is wrong, the offset is irrelevant. I am trying to see if there are options. A 275 or 285 will clear, I am pretty positive.

As much as I hate to agree with Ben, sell the damn wheels and get the proper sizes. Chalk this up to a lesson learned and unload those suckers if you can.
Lesson learned, I never liked E-bay. But, in all the irony, E-bay is the best place to help me sell them.
