Hey guys.... are any of you running 285/25/20's in the rear on your lowered 63's? I'm trying to figure out if I can get by without rubbing... help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Roswell

It depends on your wheels offset?

dragonAMG

Hey Roswell... the rear offset is 51

I'm running 285/25/20 I do rub over speed bumps and sometimes and with two adults in the back. Mine is not lowered.

dragonAMG

Thanks! What tires are you running? Do they stick out or are they flush with the fender? Do you happen to know your wheel offset?

Roswell

I doubt u can make it work with +51. U would need +55 to clear the fenders or roll the little bit of fenders at the worst case scenario.

dragonAMG

So you think if I rolled the fenders I would have no problem?

Roswell

If u look at the rear lip, there is not much material to roll.. Some will say is enough to make a difference, but in my opinion it's not worth the risk.

Rolling the rear fenders can cause paint cracking or chipping , and can separate the steel sheets where the welds are which might cause rust in the long run.

Also another option would be to shave few mm off the back plate of ur rear wheels to bring down the offset. But u should consult a professional to see how much material u got. It has been done on HRE wheels though.

285/25/20 here no issues

Roswell

Avery, what offset are ur Vorsteiner ? Any fender mods?

avery.whss

not to sure on the offset i can't find it but it's 10 wide in the back 8.5 front and no fender modes, i asked about going to a 30 series but i can't or it will rub..although i can goto a 295 if i wanted too

Roswell

I'm so jealous. I can't even get away with 275/30/19 on 19x9.5 +50mm & now I'm hoping to clear with my new set-up at 19x10 +50mm with the same 275/30/19 (which I know they will rub)

avery.whss

is it all due to the offset of your wheels? you're lowered right?

Roswell

Yes I'm lowered, and my offset is +50mm which works perfe with 265/30/19 from my experience. But I can't get away with 275/30/19, it rubbed on the passenger rear over bumps.

They are pretty flush, might stick out 1/8 - 3/16 on an inch. Tires are Falken. Not sure the offset :-(

Thanks guys for the help!
