Winter Set up rubbing

MNm3 · 11-13-2010, 12:55 AM

So I own a set of Breyton GTS 19 x 9.5 wheels all the way around. Originally they were meant for a track setup (why I got them all the same size) but have size decided to go with winter tires on them.

I have Blizzaks on there right now and my car is slightly lowered (Eibach Prokit springs)

The front tires/wheels rub the wheel well VERY badly. Is there a remedy for this without getting a smaller width rim up front?

what size did u get (tires) and what are the offsets of the rims?

i believe they are 265 35 19... the same size tire as the stock rear 19"s

I've been there and done that. You'll rub holes in your fender liners if you don't change the tires. 255/35-19 will clear assuming the wheel offset is the same as the stock rears.

There's yourproblem. 265/30/19 would work. Not 35

Gluck
