275 is probably big enough to rub the quad shock, but you can flip it upside down to clear.
unfortunately, anything bigger than a 225 will rub up front, but lots of people run 245's anyways and deal with the rubbing. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

I run 245/50/16s in the back and 225/55/16s up front. You can't fit anything wider than 255/50s without it looking absolutely rediculous. I was running 255/50/16 BFG DRs in the back and they looked kinda funny because the tire swells out so much from the wheel. Definitely don't get anything bigger than 255s.

just remember that you are limited to size due to rim width. The wider you go, the more "bulging" you are going to have, and at a certain point, it's going to look absolutely goofy.
