Tyres size on original 3200 rims?

[gavin]

On the rear wheels is it possible to fit to the original rim tyres as wide as 295/30R18 98Z Continental Reinforced?

These are the tyres I am talking about http://www.etyres.co.uk/car-tyres-uk/detail?productId=11383

This is hyperthetical question, my current tyres are quite new but it was a thought going through my mind...

You'll get a lot of tyre squirm and despite the little extra traction the car will not track as precisely as with the correct size. A 275/35 is about as wide as I would like to go although 285/30 is possible.

There are a lot of better tyres out there than the Contis that will be more sure footed in narrower widths.

Yes my thoughts too. Besides, there looks very little room for any wider so best to stick with correct width.
