TE-37 on RE-71R

I have eibach lowering springs and oem suspension. I'm thinking of putting in 265x35x19 and 285x35x19. Will I rub?

35 series sidewall will rub on full lock. I suggest go with a 30 series sidewall front and rear for a 19" wheel!

Hard to say without knowing your wheel sizes and offsets, but probably. Those tires are taller than stock. You need to go down to a 30-series aspect ratio to be closer to stock.

RE-71s are the shittiest riding tires I've ever used. Can't wait replace them with something more well rounded.

I have te-37 +22 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. I have 275x30x19 and 295x30x19 which I only rub slightly on big bumps. I also have 1.6 front camber and 2.1 rear camber settings. I'm trying to get re-71r but they don't have 275 and 295 on 30's and don't have 265 and 285 on 30s. I was wondering if 35 would work without rubbing? I'm trying to prepare for track this coming June 9 @ limerock

Looking at tirerack, they have ad08r for 265x30x19 and 295x30x19 combo. Not sure if anybody run this setup in track. My current setup which I have the ad08 on 275x30x19 and 295x30x19 felt really balanced in track and didn't encounter any issues when I went to NJMP last year.

I don't think comfort was a top consideration for that tire. Are you driving them on the street expecting them to be like PSS/PS4S?

I swapped to my wheels w/RE71R and didn't switch back to street wheels and tires yesterday. Driving back home on RE71R wasn't incredibly different from driving on my PSS tires IMHO
