I think im gonna do a 245/35 tire setup, supposedly reading on ; are these out of OEM specs? If so I will stick with the 235/35..

Also is the 245/35, if it isn't out of OEM spec; will I rub? I want to go low but not super slammed. Running on BCR coils.

I know you guys chimed on this already, sorry for the annoyances. But I just want to do everything right.. Thanks guys!

I will say that you will rub on turns with 245/35 since they are a bit out of spec. 235/35 is a little better depending on rim specs.

I will be running 20x10 et 30 fronts et 20 rears. The guys helped me out on the previous page about my selection of tires size. I just keep reading and I keeps me thinking. But I guess 235/35 sounds more ideal

big chance, those tires are way big. A safer bet would be 245/30 as they are about the same rolling diameter as tires.

OK thanks..I'm currently running 255/30/20 with no rub but thinking if I could go to the 35 series with no rub.

to go up to a 35 series, you're adding another inch to the diameter.

Yeah I know that's 27" diameter. So if I want more tire is safe to do 245/35/20. From what I'm reading on here that will rub. I know that's 26.8" diameter
