Michelin PS2 255/35 and 275/35 on ZCP with spacers

I'm running Michelin PS2s 255/35 and 275/35 on ZCP wheels with 15mm spacers front and back. No rubbing at all even turning the wheels all the way in.

The reason why I post this is because I've seen a bunch of post saying they rub on 255/35 and 275/35 which they shouldn't be.

Just wanted to put this info out there if you guys need it. I could get pics if needed.

I'll get some pics. Suspension is stock now but will be installing my H&R springs when I get the chance, however, I don't see a problem rubbing after springs are installed.

I'm running the same with 15/10mm spacers and no rubbing.

the reason for this is the tire... PSS/PS2's tend to less wide than say an equivalent AD08 or Potenza's, etc.

The same setup with the AD08's would rub like no tomorrow; they are wider/fatter than the PSS.

Well good for you. I tried 15mm front and I rub front and back of the tire while turning. Rears I did 12mm and rubbed on big dips. So apparently not all ZCP are created equal.
