Hey peps!

I needed new front & rear tires so i bought 4x Pirelli Pzero and wanted to go alittle wider than stock but still keep the comfort so i went with 265/35 for the rears and 235/40 up front. I'm also running 20mm h&r spacers both front n rear.
So.. i picked up my car from the tireshop yesterday and omw home i noticed the rears rubbing when going on uneven highway roads No rubbing at all with 20mm spacers and stock tire dimensions, even with a fully packed car and 4 ppl... But its rubbing with only me in the car now.. so what should i do? Should i get my fenders rolled? Or should i buy 15mm spacers instead? Does anyone know if 265/35 with 15mm spacers will work? I really dont want to go down to stock dimensions or go with lower aspect ratio..

Depends what you want to do, you can have them rolled and it should work fine, just do it right and the paint won't get trashed. Either wAy gotta do something cause the paint will crack from the metal flexing

I have removed the spacers for now. But lots ppl are telling me not to roll the fenders.. I asked a well known tireshop here in southern sweden if they could do it but they didnt want to touch it

do a 15mm spacer and you will probably be fine. Going from the stock 255 tire to the 265 you increased the tire width by at least 10MM maybe more.

Take a picture of where it sits and we can see what the best action will be.

We had 3x 5mm spacers laying around at work so i put em on and had 3 ppl sit in the car, it felt pretty tight.. I think that it would rub with 15mm spacers so i prolly need to go down to 10mm.. I'll go down at take a pic right away!

Just went down and took some pics!












U can see where the fender has rinner against the tire

well people are putting 285 on the stock rims with no rubbing. I would buy 15mm and call it a day.

Yer but the ppl that are running wider tires are running lower profile, eg 275/30. Im running stock profile with my 265/35s.. but its weird.. im going to roll my fenders this weekend and hopefully i won't crack the paint

So.. i got my fenders rolled this weekend and unfortunately i'm still rubbing! But only with 4 ppl in the car..

I'm thinking bout downsizing the profile and going with 275/235 with 30 profile instead as i want to keep my spacers Does anyone know if 275/30-19 with 20mm spacers works without any rubbing?
