Here is how it looks just in case you were wondering why I don't want to do 19's

Narrower lightly stretched tires could be an option.

that is a bummer, is whoever did your tire wheel combo willing to help you get a different offset? otherwise what CorradoMR2 said, smaller tire stretched instead of a 265 maybe 255 on the rear, or is it all over that you are rubbing?

i think that is going to have to be my best option and it only rubs in the rear

Running 255 on a 10.5 +45 width wheel in the rear and on Megan coils. I am also lower than you and I do not rub. Stretching will be your only option if you stick with the springs and your wheel offset.

No problem. But remember to take care around curbs and such. Going with stretched tires means you will have a bit of exposed wheel lip.

Car looks very good I'm on the same boat you were! Trying to decide btw. 19's and 20's. I want a meaty & wide tire in the back, but when I lower the car it'll rub. So my only option is to go with stretched tires (255) instead of 265 or 275


Quick Reply: 20's on 250 f sport
