You can fit more than a 255 in the rear. LOL I’ve seen 275’s under there. This is a 255/40-17 on a 17x9 +38 wheel (on the rear). No fender mods either. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/2003specv/1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/2003specv/1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/2003specv/DSC01777.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/2003specv/DSC01777.jpg) ---

tire size is not the biggest problem when trying to fit a tire/wheel combo as it is usually rim offset. If you were trying to fit a 17x9j rim and a 255/40R17 tire it would probably rub on your suspension or hicas or ect. What offset and width are these rims… that would be more of a deciding factor on a S13 as you can fit alot bigger tires than 255 on the rear with stock fenders it is jsut you would have to play around with offsets.
