I think they'll work in the rear but pretty sure you'll get rubbing in the fronts.................

Check out this tire Size Calculator. From the chart you might have to get a 10 inch rim

Yeah, my Radenergie r10 rears are 19/10 but Falkens don't make 285/30/19 or at least I couldn't find them. :thumbsdown:

I think Bridgestone, Michelin, Dunlop, Toyo, and Periili makes that size. Anybody who find that size for Falkens, please let me know.

What d'yaa have in mind ? The inside should clear no problem...

It's wider in size already so if you put spacer more than likely it could rub against the fender lip depending on the spacer size...
