Rubbing question, going from PS2 to AD08r

valen · 03-14-2014, 11:00 PM

I currently have Michelin PS2's on 19x9 ET18 245/35 front and 19x10 ET25 265/35 rear with H&R Sport Springs and the stance is perfect. The setup doesn't have any rubbing issues, but it is close quarters in the front with about 3/8-1/2 inch of clearance on full lock. The issue I have is the sidewalls on the PS2's are to round and soft for my taste.

I'm wondering if 255/35 & 275/35 Yokohama AD08 R's will fit without any rubbing (I know they run a bit bigger and is why I ask) or would I need to stay with the PS2's at that larger size?

Also, any opinions between the two tires in regards to performance are welcome even if you don't know if the tire will fit my setup. Thanks guys!

Cheers,
Derek

Don't know if they'll rub but you can search for comparisons between the 2 tires as it's been discussed numerous times.

I've read many of those topics over that past couple of weeks before posting this and created an opinion based on those topics. However, the information I'm after is about rubbing. The question about getting an opinion is superfluous. I just want to be sure going up to that size in AD08's will work with my setup.

You're only adding 5mm to the outer edge of the tire; that's less than 1/4'. You'll be fine if you have 1/2" of clearance at full lock.

The AD08s are huge. They are much larger width-wise than the PS2. You will likely rub. I rubbed like crazy with a 19x10.5 et 25 wheel volk G25, lowered on KW v3. They were just too tall with too square a shoulder. Likely the rear can be solved with fender rolling, but the fronts can't and I wore through my fender liners in a hurry.
