255/35 19 on 10" wheel rub?

dhanni848 · 07-09-2015, 03:27 PM

Hey all.

Looking at getting some new tread and want to go a smidge wider. I am on Eibach sportline springs, and from the research I have done they are the same or very close to H&R sports.

Current:
style 95s staggered
225/35 front
245/35 rear

I have no fender work, and dot really want to do it either. Can I do the below without rubbing??? Not as worried about large bumps, but the regular stuff. Nashville is not too terrible with roads, at least the ones I am on.
235/35 front (this is no issue I know)
255/35 rear?

I know everyone is going to say do 255/30 rears, but I am very happy with the way the matching sidewall.

Any pics would be great. If I was not lowered I wouldn't be asking. I had 4 adults in the car last weekend with about 380-400lbs in the back and no rubbing.

Thanks!!!

A 255 might be too narrow for a 10" wheel. depends on the tire. Will the wheel/tire fit? It depends on offset.

I'm running a 19x9.5 ET33 with a 275/30 on the rear of my car.

We'll I have 245 on there now which is a little stretch. 255mm is approx. 10" so should be less stretch but not sure about rubbing.

255 on a 10"rim might be kind of stretch.

Here's my setup and I don't rub at all.

I'm on:

Front: 19x9 et35 235/35/19
Rear: 19x10 et38 265/30/19

Lowered on kw-v1s and no fender work

your wheel offset will determine more/less if you are going to rub. Running a 255 tire on a 10" wheel shouldn't be a prob. a 245 tire on a 10" wheel should have a stretch DEPENDING on what brand tire you have. Some tires run small and some bigger.

For example I have a 10.5" on a 255 and it fits like a 265/275 and that's a goodyear assymetric tire

Right now I am running a 245/35 Nexen N7000 on the 10" rear. I noticed the other day sitting a a hill it was super close to rubbing with that. It was tough to fit a finger.

I was actually looking at trying Achilles ATR sports. I know there isn't much out there on them except they stretch really well.

I may just try the 255/35 and see what happens!

are you talking about height? or the distance between the tire and the inside of the fender?

inside of the fender width. the height looks to be fine even with the 235 wall. I am no where near slammed.
