rim & tire question
I have Ohtsu FP8000 (rebrand of Falken FK452) 265/30/19 at the rear and they are on the skinnier side at only 10.2" wide versus most others of this size are around 10.5" - 10.7". That 0.3-0.5" is the difference between rubbing or not.
My Toyo T1 Sports measured 235/35 and 265/30 are a bit stretched sitting on the 8,5 and 9,5 rims respectively! Recently met my friend who rides BMW 320d on Conti Sportcontacts and his 235/40 and 255/35 ARE WIDER on the same width rims than my Toyos despite having the less claimed width.
It's a good point since not every tire of the "same labeled size" is of the same width.

Looks like I'm gonna need to live with the rubbing until these PSS wears out

Would be nice info to have for my next set.

Tirerack has most of the dimensions and when they don't for a specific tire you're interested, sometimes the manufacturer does, or just google...
