tire size with 20x10 et35 and H&R SuperSports

Curious what size tires you guys with H&R Super Sport springs are running that are also running a 20x10 in rear with ET-35 offset. I know that a 255/30 will fit, however i'd like to go wider if possible, without rubbing. Is the 275/30 going to be too wide for my setup? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

would a 275/30 clear? or is this not a common size to run on an et35 20x10?

Reason I ask is because I currently have 255/30 in the rear and with the minor stretch I am having issues with leaks at the bead of the wheel on one of the wheels. I bought the wheels used, and have yet to determine if its a wheel issue or a tire issue. I sent the wheels off to a wheel repair place and they said they are not bent, so i'm unsure as to the issue now. I may try swapping tires from wheel to wheel to see if the leak follows the wheel or the tire. I just wanted to be prepared to potentially step up in size if i need to and if it will even work.

The stretching shouldn't be causing the issue. Although it is quite a stretch, I have seen even skinnier tires on wider wheels without any problems. Your issue is most likely with the tire assuming the wheel shop knows what they are doing.

As mentioned above, 265/30 is the size you would ideally want to run.

You would most likely have to roll your fenders a tad bit in order to run 275's with that offset.

Still possible to roll the fenders on F30-31-32 ?
Not sure.

As for tires, since your offset is very aggressive, you won't be able to run 275 in the back, and maybe not even 265 (depending on the tire manufacturer).

My mistake about the 275's. You're definitely right about the offset being too aggressive. For some reason I thought it was higher.

You're also right about 265's as it does depend on the manufacturer. Something like Pilot Super Sports you might have a difficult time fitting, although with some negative camber I think you should be able to pull it off as I've seen very similar setups on members' cars. It will be close though. A picture with your current clearance would definitely help assess the situation.
