Have the Base model. What is the widest rear tire size I can use? Hate the skinny look of rear tires when viewing from the tail end. I run the Kentucky Appalachian Mountian coal roads which are mostly snow free because of heavy coal truck traffic.

    Do not make the rear tires wider than the fronts, unless you like plowing off the road in turns. 205/55-16 will fit nicely.

    I do love the roads in that part of the country :)
