- Wasn't sure if 255/35 rear on et45 would fit. Wasn't sure if 245/35 would fit. Knew that 245/35 would fit in the rear.
- Differential in diameter not important to me since max difference with a 245 rear was relatively small.
- Want to make sure that the tire overhangs the wheel so I get some curb rash protection.
- Wanted maximum width possible without fender roll.
- Tire size options also came into play.
- Didn't want to risk getting something that wouldn't fit.
I don't recall but there may have been other things I considered at the time. Clearly thought it through. The car, wheel, suspension, and tires were all new to me. So I went with something safe. Once these tires are spent I will go with either 245/35 & 255/35 or 235/40 and 245/35. |
Good answer!
FWIW a 245/35 should fit with 3mm spacer and fixed camber plates
