Hello.

Im looking to change my wheel/tire setup

Will 255/35/19 on style 167 wheels fit the fronts without any rubbing issues?


my Current setup : 167's on 245/35/19 fronts and 255/35/19 rears

My next setup (if possible 255/35/19 fronts and 285/30/19 rears

So, will 255/35/19 front tires give me any rubbing issues ?

BTW (stock non sport suspension)

Thanks

Hey man great thread. I have found out thru trials that. A 275 30 and 265 35 will fit and it makes the car feel so much better.


Just make you measure and use a tire size calculator. And fyi the 275 has the similar radius, circumference, sidewall as a 235/35

275 in the font?

im looking to put on 255/35 on the front. I think 285/30/19 rears are ok.

Wider tires in front will only make your steering even STIFFER.

If I were you, i would add wheel protection than anything else by running a higher profile than trying to play with the width of the tire.

Anyway,
To answer your question - Its hard to determine if 255/35/19 is going to rub since your offset is unknown. If "525iEnjoy" says it can and he has done it then I will take his word for it but once again, I would take wheel protection and safety over a wider tire

Thanks, The offset is 18 fronts and 32 rear!.

I definitely want to protect my wheels. that is why Im thinking 255/35 for the fronts, as it has a slighter higher profile than 245/35.

Am I correct?

I just want to know if anyone is running this type of set. Otherwise, I'll just run 245/35/19 285/30/19
But would rather have more meat on the front tires (wheel protection) so I want 255/35/19 285/30/19

525iEnjoy 08-15-2011 06:49 AM

I understand about rim protection.. a 255/35 shouldnt rub since I ran 265's. If ya change your mind



:devil: 275/30
