265 to 255..can I bump up spacers by 5mm?

JunkyardDogg · 02-05-2020, 04:02 PM

I recently switched rear tires from 265/30/19 to 255/30/19. I was running 12mm spacers without rubbing. Would going to 15mm spacers be ok? 18mm?

update: My rear rubs now on big dips! Sizing down I would not have expected this. Could it be the alignment?

Same brand and model of tire? Not all are the same. Some 255s are wider than other brands 265s.
