im running the oem 19" multispokes and its a 255/35/19 tyre. has anyone tried a 265 tyre on it and if so, any issues?
im not sure if a 265 tyre is better or worse, its jsut that i feel it could get a wider tyre on that rim

Yes I'm running 265 on the OEM Multi's, no issues at all, been running winters and summers for 2 years.

awesome, can i ask what tyres u r running? i still have the oem continental contisport 5.
did u find much price discrepancy changing sizes?

Dazzagt

Same Conti's summer and Vredstein Wintac, and the 265 are more readily available, and little bit less due to more options and manufacturers.

i actually went to tirerack to have a look and compared the 255 to 265. the 265 run a few dollars more per tyre it seems.
im going to change it up i think and go with michelin super sports or teh pilot sport 2.

Weird, in the UK the 265's were a little cheaper!

Pilot SS are a cracking tyre, probably going that way next myself

oh, and is it a 265/35/19 or a 265/30/19

dchl21

265 30 19

yellows2k

Dazzagt

Yup 265/30

hey noticed your h&r spring is bs set up? whats that ?


im also running oem 19s with 12mm spacers all around but im on stock pp suspension.


ive heard that if I were to lower it later ill need to swap out the rear spacers for 10mm otherwise I would rub with 265.


teach me your trick

Hey Bud

Black Series Std geo set up, when they fitted the springs, and did the alignment they dialled in black series suspension set up, handles well and less roll.

Looking at various threads that I've seen it must depend to a degree which tyres your on, mine are Conti 5's, and with the drop on H&R springs only no rubbing with 12mm front and rear.

It's as tight and as close as it could get, so I think if I went Pilot SS there is a chance that it would start rubbing a bit.

quick pic of how close..
