You can do a 295 rear. The drawback is that the sidewall will be 25. That may not be the best choice for you living in Brooklyn. I run a 295 rear and I cringe at times but you cant beat the look it gives the car. The stance is like none other with a 295 rear.

OH. Staten Island. Thats so much better. Go for the 295 then since you live in Staten Island and not Brooklyn. There arent any potholes there, right? All I'm saying is this: You wont have fitment issues with a 295 rear but you will be more susceptible to damage. You must give up something for the ultimate look. In your case, I would go with as big a sidewall as you can and that would mean widths of 275 or 285. Definitely NOT 295. You'll see what I mean in a week or so. There will be every size and tire option you can imagine at the meet

295 tires will require a high wheel offset. You just can't throw 295 tires onto any wheel. The widest possible tire is 305 with the right wheel offset.
