So I got some new mooncakes but have a rubbing issue I have falken FK452 245/35/19 in the front 275/35/19 in the back. Back doesnt rub but it might if I drop it which i need to and the front rubs when i turn left and right what size tires do i need so i can drop and have no rubbing issues?

Thanks for the help and heres a pic

Rims look good!

what offset? and how much drop will help us help you

235/35-19 works for me front on TeinS springs (1.6" drop in the front)

275/35-19 works for me in the rear with 1.2" drop I had to roll the rear fenders but not mods to the front fenders.

I am 19 x 8.5 +33 front offset and 19 x 10 +38 offset rear

hope that helps you out. I think you may just need to replace the front tires or mod your front fenders and liner.

wheel specs? offsets etc.

just looking at the tire walls in your pic you probably want 225's in the front 235 max and 245's or 255's in the back 265's max this will give you a mild stretch... the more you stretch usually the more you can drop... although the more you stretch the less handling you'll have...

that's why your wheels specs are important...... so....... what are they?

wow..nice rims!! what rims is that?

Wheel specs & offsets would be helpful.

I've been shopping around for wheels. I have had some help and have had some measurements taken. With a 1.4" drop front and 1.2" drop rear, I was told that 235/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear would not rub at all on 19x8.5 +38 front and 19x10 +50 rear.

hehehe...'big tire look'... hehehe... 245s up front... rubbing durr...

RUN VIP STRETCH FTW!!! *245s is what i run on my +35 19x10 rear *

yea u def. shudda gone with a 235/35 and a 265/30

all you need is a 235/35-19 front tire and you are fine. If you want the stretched look then follow what llamboiz suggested.

your rear tire is fine!

Yea but with his mild offsets im sure he can run 265 in the rear and 235 in the front with a mild drop and maybe a slam.

really the OP can get away with what they have and some fender/liner mods in the front if they wanted. the rear 275/35 is fine with the offset and rim width. If they wont swap for the 235/35 fronts at the tire shop I would personally just mod the liner where needed.

I do agree with 235/35 front and keep the rear tire (275/35) that you can slam that car really good if you wanted to! My car just misses both front and rear same tires as above but I do have a little more aggressive offset. just had to roll those rear fenders a tad I think its really about look and style with the rims and offset the OP has.

I think... you should keep your 2IS...

dang those mooncakes are hot, where in Texas u located?
