I'm not going to spend a lot of money on upgrading to a 9" wide rear wheel only to run the same size tire that I all ready have! (which it looks like by your pics I'd have to do just that w/o it sticking way out).
Bottom line, I guess what I really want is a 275 tire on the rear w/stock camber and no more then a rolled lip on the fender. And I want to do it on a <$200 per wheel budget!
So, my quest is now on to find a wheel that will fit those goals..

I see your point now. You aren't neccessarily(sp?) going for super flush/pulled fenders. You just want to put wider tires w/maybe a roll.(?) The mb's that I refered to earlier come in 17x9 +27, and if my questionable understanding of tire sizing is correct, the 255's you want to run would be 10mm wider than the 245's, and since the weapons come in a +27 also they would be sunk in 10mm more, effectively giving you the same stance/fitment that I have now. Keep in mind, my camber in the rear is just the result of lowering the car. I have no adjustable arms (rucas) in the rear, so if you have that, then it will allow you to run an even wider tire in the rear. Also, my I run a 45 series tire in the back, so that also plays into the fitment, somewhat.
