No rubbing or trimming.

Titan5 T-S5

18x10 +25
275/35/18 Sumitomo HTR Z III
12MM Spacers
2.5 degree camber
zero toe

18x10.5 +25
Michelin PSS 295/35/18
No Spacers
2 degree camber
0.20 degree toe

Lowered on BC Racing BR coilovers with it being pretty much flush.

I do plan on replacing the Sumitomo's with PSS soon and possibly removing the spacers for fitment.

I have stock suspension with PS4S tires on Titan T-S5 rims

19x9.5 +22 275/30s front rubs the inner edge of the painted bumper at the 10 o'clock position.
19x10.5 +25 305/30s rear rubs the painted metal bumper at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions as well as fender liner.

I am thinking about going to a 265/30-19 front and a 295/30-19 rear to solve the rubbing but im not sure if downsizing by 10mm in the front and rear would be enough. Im wondering if I will have to go down to a 255/35-19 front and a 285/30-19 rear.

Id be fine with the rear rubbing the liner tabs a little but I cant have it rub away the painted surface of the fender.

Thoughts on if 295/30-19 will clear the actual fender in the rear?

295/30/19 clears the rear with 22 offset
The front 255/35/19 is better than 265/30/19.

Both the 275/30 and 265/30 have too short sidewall, unless you only care about how it looks.

Anyone lowered on H&R springs with 18x9.5+15/10.5+20? Wondering what it'll take for these to work right?

Front you can solve with some negative camber (-2.0).

Rear will be very close, if you go 295 and PS4S. I had rubbing with 10.5ET22 with this size and tire and had to go down to 285. You have 3mm more clearance, but hard to guarantee you won't rub.

Not sure about the et15 up front. What size tires? I think the 18x10.5 et20 should be ok in the rear. The reason why I say that is because I have 18x10.5 et25 in the rear with a 285/35/18 lowered on H&R springs and I am definitely going to add a 5-10mm spacer. My front is 18x9.5 et22 with 265/35/18 and it is a pretty good fit maaaaaaybe I could do a tiny little 5mm spacer but that would still put me at et17, really not sure about et15 but I suppose it depends on tire, how much camber, etc.

Well I went with 265/35 on the front and I'm hoping it fits good. If I have to run a little more camber then oh well lol

I recently purchased some Titan 7 TS5's. Overall I like the wheels however I think the rears need just a bit of love. I read a thread from years ago, extensively, talking about these wheels with 285/35/18 tires saying that it's a perfect fitment for this platform. I honestly don't think it's terrible however I think et20 (possibly even a bit lower) would be just right. I am considering adding a spacer to the rear. Based on what you all know, and the attached pictures, should I stick at a 5mm spacer or is there room to go just a bit more? It looks like Turner Motorsports has a couple 7.5mm options. What size would you all recommend in this situation? While I want it to be aggressive, I definitely don't want it to rub. I have been there and done that (with a previous car back in the day) and my fenders did not appreciate that...

Just fitted square 18x10 ET25 with a 5mm spacer in the front. I also fitted Bridgestone RE71RS for my upcoming track day and do rub in the front on full lock on the front and back side of the fenders Is that expected? Do other guys run 275/30 with the RE71RSs?

No one runs a 275/30R18, I don't think that size even exists.
Rubbing on the fender liner at full lock with a 275/35 is common. Mine rubbed completely through to the metal on the back side. Then I did some light massaging of the metal to provide some additional clearance

Reviving this thread as I'm looking for confirmation on a setup I'm looking to run:

18x9.5 +22 square with 255/40 and 275/40. I'm confident rear is fine, but will the front rub at all?

No rubbing on the front with 18x9.5et22 with 265/40 and 275/35. You’ll have no problems front and rear with 255/275. However, you may need to run a 10 mm rear spacer to get similar frontspacing at the front and rear. Stock rear is 18x9.5et23 which is real conservative.

The stock rear 18x9.5 I've read rubs in front with 265/40. True the rear will need a spacer, thinking of going with a FC 12mm.

Where does it rub? I ran 265/40-18 but I have a JRZ suspension with camber plates and -3 deg of camber so not sure if that matters. I forgot to mention that earlier.

The 275/35-18 also doesn’t rub with MCS suspension and -3.5 deg of camber.

The fender liner. ApexWheels and many others have confirmed the same. A 35 series tire is needed with width 265+.

Haven't researched the max camber you can run without camber plates, but I'm trying to stay within that.

Interesting. I had zero fender rubbing with MPSS 265/40 without any modifications made to the liner. 265/35 has a short sidewall and so does 275/35 come up a little bit short.

I’m currently on 18x9.5 et22 front and 18x10.5 et25, and I rub a bit the back of front fenders at full lock.

Tires: 265/35 and 295/35
Alignment: -3.5 camber front and -2.5 rear. Zero rear toe. 7.5 degree front caster.

Any idea what I can do to fix the front rubbing? I’m gonna try heating up the wheel liner and pushing it back a bit. I think I just a need a few mm of clearance. Rear surprisingly I’m not rubbing.

Apologies if this shouldn't be posted here but didn't want to start a new thread.

Can someone confirm if 18x9.5 +23 18x10.5 +22 with 265/35 285/35 DWS06+ will rub with stock alignment specs (pins not pulled) on an E90 lowered on Eibach springs?

Reading through this thread some say rubbing in rear while others don't, but that may be tire dependent?

TIA
