245/40/19 instead of 245/35/19 ?
So thinking if this will work or not...
I have some m167 reps on the car with exactly the same measurements as the M6 originals.
Front 19x8.5 ET 12
Rear 19x9.5 ET 17
Here are the wheels wearing the recommended 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 tyres. Car has factory OEM sports suspension.
Just wondering if anyone's tried 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 on the above ? Rears should be good to go but fronts already seem pretty close to the strut with the 245/35/19 !! Not sure if I've actually already been hearing some rub sounds when I've gone over a speed hump a little fast. Why that might happen even with the standard set up I don't know....has anyone else experienced this ?
Anyway, I wanted the M5 or M6 tyres - 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 but that's definitely going to rub on the front so I've dropped that though I'd like to get the 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 -- so any thoughts on this anyone ? Would be great to know if someone has had a try to see if this works, especially the 245/40/19 on the front.
