Luca, yeah guy doesn't know what he's talking about as everyone here already comfirmed. I also have a totally stock car and want to go 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 on mine. If you go that size, please let me know. I have a feeling it will be OK with revised liners and stock suspension as I have. As Gimme and M3 a 10mm spacer can contribute to rubbing. My 1M with stock everything except for a 3mm spacer in front rubbed when backing on the original liners but didn't when I took them off. I also think that turn-in could be affected slightly as the sidewall is more upright vs stretched with 24 but I would be Ok with that.


Let us know how it goes please. Thank you.
