Wider tires

Would going from 245 in the rear to 275 or 295 really make a positive overall difference in preventing tires from breaking free on acceleration

Yes larger contact patches are desirable even up to 305's. Drag radials are recommended if you really need full traction. VR30 is a torque monster that will shred tires even in stock tune.

Does anyone here have rear 275/295/305 and they still slip?

Do you have a Sport or Performance (18" or 19" rims)? I liked my 45?245 front , 40/275 rears on my sport.

18”, did it make a big difference, did you have traction issues before and then not after, was it faster? Am I just driving too aggressively?

Going to 295 in the rear was a night and day difference for me. Before, I would get zero traction in 2nd at full throttle. Now it just hooks and goes, open diff be damned.

Once again, it matters if you are driving a Sport or Performance. Me? I had a Sport with stock tires, open diff. BUT, I put a 6MT diff from a performance in, and it was MAGIC.

Oh, and the stock tires on both the Sport and perf have been described as "Freeze-dried oil slick". I second the nomination.
