I have had a lot of shops tell me that if I put 275/35/19 on the rear that I will get some rubbing. is this true because I have seen others with that setup for the rear and haven't really heard them complain. also with that size tire and if I lower the car with Tanabe NF210 will it rub? any help would be appreciated....

whether it has clearance issues or not, have you thought about keeping it closer to stock diameter and going with 275/30's instead?

I have but I would like to run 245/35/19 for the front and 275/35/19 for the rear just because of the wheels I'm planning to get, I really don't want to get expensive wheels the have them damaged by a bump or pot hole on the road so I opt for more cushion for the wheels.

Slight highjack of topic - but still pertinent:

Has anyone run anything larger than 225/40-18's on the stock (8.0") front rims? I've never been much on staggered sizes (285/30-18's all around on my RX7), and the standard front tire looks like an O-ring to me. I was planning on ordering w/ G-Spiders and was thinking at the first tire change bumping the fronts to one of the following:
235/40-18 (.4" larger in diameter)
245/40-18 (.6" larger in diameter - probably my first choice as closer to diameter of rears)
245/35-18
A 255/anything is probably too wide for an 8" wheel. Then again, why not 255/40-18's on 18x8.5's all around?

I know alot of people in here are into custom wheels and tires. Since this is going to be my daily driver, I'm just looking to equalize the tire selection a bit over stock.

Thanks,
