Several forum members are running that size tire on the back with 11" wide rims. However, there other mitigating circumstances, such as actual wheel width (9.5", 10", 10.5", 11"), wheel offset, and tire brand. Some tires run a bit narrower/wider than others, so more specifics will get you responses from those with the same setup as yours. For instance, I believe some have had to use spacers to keep from rubbing, while others haven't needed them - all depends on width, offset and tire brand.

op wondering the same exact thing myself! I'd like to run this nitto nto5r on a 10.5" rim w 65mm offset on my 2000.

305/35ZR19 27.44D 12.32 section width 10.0-(11.0)-12.0 rim

I run 325-30/19 rears, with 11" wide/65mm offset, and they fit without any issue. My previous tires were 295-35/19s, and they also had no issues.

Do you think that combo will work with the z06 brake duct installed?
