Sorry, another 1m tire thread!

[CP 1///M]

265/35R19 is quite a bit bigger than 245/35R19 stock PSS although it's technically workable, I almost wouldn't go there and just go 265/30R19 instead (on stock rims). 285/30R18 would probably require at least 18x9.5, best on 18x10 - at least it's short enough not to be an issue.

Ok, got the new meat put on yesterday. Sounds like everything went on well and they only had a little issue to get the rear on. Drive home was 8 miles and hit two bumps and had two "rubs" .... One in the rear and one left front and I will have to figure out how to tell if it was the liners or the actual fenders. It was wet and cold so no chance to test new grip levels. Look forward to next warm and sunny day (around March) to test. Thanks everyone for your advice and input ..... Will post other pictures ... Have to resize!

LOL. Yeah you were ready for new rear tires lol.

[SpencerMH]

Looks like it fills the wheel wells out nicely and no more worries of curbing rims with that much rubber! Sucks on the rubbing and it was extremely minimal on mine with that setup, you could get the revised wheel wells or the only place mine really rubbed was in the front liners where it's slatted for the oil cooler and I just trimmed that a tiny bit, and it was pretty darn good, from there of its minor contact it'll wear within a few hundred miles and rub less

Thanks Spencer .... Does not seem a functional issue! Can't wait for warmer days!

Otherwise option three if you're running high boost(e85, meth or bigger turbos) as once running strong you can use all the tire you can get under there, I run 305's currently.

With 275/30's in the front you'll rub in a decent amount of situations near steering lock(of course with camber plates or other mods they'll fit but that doesn't seem the case here) and 265 was adequate grip in the front to balance well with bigger rear tires especially if you've got more power.

Would you say that 265/30/19 PSS in the front on stock suspension will rub?

Thanks

So the fronts and the rears do rub? Are you on the stock suspension?

Thanks

First post says he's on H&R springs.

I think there may be an occasional noise if not on the newer wheel liners but it shouldn't be a significant thing or anything a little sandpaper to the liner wouldn't eliminate. Trying to be a pessimist here but I wouldn't be concerned, the only thing I'd say is if the rest of the cars stick it probably wouldn't make a ton of sense to go much bigger than stock sizing, maybe 255 front 275 rear, unless it's for auto cross or something, I do it because of serious traction issues so I go huge on the back axle and want some sort of balance in the stagger as well as it spreads breaking heat over more tire when at the track.

So 255/35 and 275/35 PSS would just do? No rubbing issues with this setup?

Has anyone here run that? I haven't personally and it sounds you want a sort of tried and true guarantee and I haven't run that setup but if it was me I wouldn't worry one bit, if there is rubbing it would be in parking lot situations where the wheels are sharply turned and you're backing up type stuff and if it does it wouldn't be anything that 25 minutes with some sandpaper and snippers couldn't completely eliminate. There are a few spots that rubbed on mine but you can see where it's rubbing if you look into the wheel wells, it will be scuffed up where it runs, usually the slats for the radiator rub a bit and you snip a little off and nothing's hurt but no more rubbing and sand a little plastic off where you see scuffs and no more rubbing. I run 265/30 in the front and 305/30 in the rear and have no rubbing after cleaning up my wheel wells a bit so it's probably not even necessary with that setup but I can't guarantee it.

Just got this setup on. As SpencerMH said, rubs a tiny bit at first on the front but barely noticeable only at slow speeds when parking... over short time rubbing will go away.

[PaulMcA]

As of yesterday I am now running Michelin PSS 275 at the rear and 255 on the front. Car had the inner liner warranty work done 18 months ago. So no rubbing at all. Perfect setup

[craina]

I have PSS 255/275 on my stockers. I get some slight rubbing on the fender liners (updated version) in parking garages. No adverse tire wear from the rubbing.

[sky335]

Any updates 1mGator? I'm lowered (KW V3) and need tires. Def want to try the 265/30 295/30 combo. How has the rubbing been now that you have had them a few months?

1mGator ...Any updates? Curious how your experience has been since we're on the same springs.

Thanks,

Sorry for the radio silence gang. IN between jobs and it looks like we will be heading way south back to FLA. Car is running well with continued rub on right rear, especially with passenger. I don't think the answer will be a "fender roll" with our cars. If it continues to bother I will probably seek a spring height adjustment because I only need a few MM. I'm happy to trade the minor issue for the GRIP
