Anyone have knowledge on this car

Would love to know the actual rear tire size on this GN. I have 275/35R18 on the exact same rim (XXR 521) and mine look like shopping cart casters next to this rear tire size. Is there some type of axle snubber he's using to get these monster tires on?

Looks like he's done the standard rolled lip trick, you can see the slight waves on the lip of the quarter above the tire. But my question would be, is this car driven exactly like this or did they stick a spacer behind the same wheel you have and take some professional photos? It's been done before. Either way the car looks absolutely outstanding.

No way that's a 275. I'm thinking more like a 315 on an 18x12

Not that big, my 285's looks the same as that in the pic.

that frame has to be notched.

Professional photographers use things like that shadow to trick the eye also. Effectively making the tire look bigger because you can't easily see the back of it. Also making the car look more aggressive. They staged the vehicle exactly where they wanted it under the light for the most intimating photo in this case and it worked, looks mean. Photographers even use dips in the road and other elevation differences to get some of the best shots. Not saying for sure that's the deal here in regards to tire size because it looks huge no doubt. Just a possibility.

Yup, trick photography. I can see the inner line and it's very similar to my 285's. No frame notch here either.

And notice the huge rolled lip egde difference. You can really see the difference there. That first pics almost a wide body. Haha

Sorry, I thought it was the original posters car. I'm a dummy. That's a monte.

I agree with Streetbu. Mine look like toys compared to that photo. Mine are 275/35 18 on 18 x 10s. Those have to be a 315 or the like. My tire tread aren't even as wide as the rim lol. The tires in the photo look like they're much wider than the lip of the rim
