HI98GS

I currently run Work Equips 20x9 +46 with 245/35/20 tires. Will 255/35/20 tires rub? I don't plan on lowering the car any lower than it is now. It's not slammed.

On a second note my rear rim is 20x10 +42 with 285/30/20. Will 295/25/20 tires fit without rubbing at the current height. The current setup doesn't rub and once again the car is not slammed.

Overall I would say the car has about .75 to 1 inch gap all around.

The current tires are Bridgestone RE960. I am thinking of trying the Continental ExtremeContact DW


Thanks in advance.

Mods, I know this was posted in the 2GS forums, but I figure I would get more help here. Thank you

If you have almost an inch of gap all around, I don't think getting a wider tread width would rub. I would visualize the side wall 5mm closer to your fender.

I understand the gap idea, but what I am getting at is will the tire rub against anything. ie. upper control arm

Your tire sizes are wrong.

The 295/25-20 is about 1.25" shorter in rolling diameter when compared to the 255/35-20 size. If you want to go wider, the ideal sizes would be 255/30-20 and 295/25-20.

The offset on your front wheels is a bit high so you may have rubbing on the suspension. I would take some measurments to see if you have the extra room. The 255/30-20 will need about .25" more room to the inside. The spacing towards the fender will be fine.

In the rear, the 295/25-20's should work but you may need to roll/pull the fender and if it still hits, dial in some negative camber. You'll need about .25" more room towards the fender for these to clear inside and outside.

Sounds like rubbing is likely to me..
