My back tires are rubbing when driving over large dips. I tried having my fender roll but still rubbing. I need to made sure that I do not make another mistake can someone help me with make sure that what tires will work with out rubbing but still fit on 9 1/2 rim. I know that 245 will fit and also 255 x 35 but with the off set will they still hit or rub. After the first purchase I have limited funds so I need to make sure there right.
Try dropping the rears to 265/35, and make sure the tires you buy have round shoulders instead of squared off. That should eliminate the rubbing. If not, sell the rims...to me! LOL!
