Does anyone have 265/30/19 in the rears on a lowered car that don't rub? If so, what brand? Not too many tire choices at 255/30/19 so I'm wondering if I can get away with 265/30/19... I hear Falken are a "thin" 265/30/19 and may work?

 

Yup Falken has the thinnest sidewall, so it may help. I use 265/30 19 and it rub, well the offset of my wheels is way too small and the tyre sidewall doesn't help either, it's yokohama and it has fat sidewall. Just watch out for the rear wheels offset.

 

Mark, you have decided to dump your 18" and get 19"s? S-03 and T1-S are the two tires that have a "rounder" corner. That might help. I dont have any rubbing problems with 265/30/19 on my car, but my fender was pre-rolled. DO NOT get PZeros, they have a more "square" corner.

 

I'm thinking about it... but it seems like the tire selection for 19s are very limited compared to 18s so I'm having 2nd thoughts. On my car the fenders haven't been rolled so I'm a little bit hesitant to run 265/30 in the back.

 

i have mine...265/30/19 on my coupe..

doesnt rub...well...let me rephrase it..it does rub..only when the road is VERY rough....but well... i rolled my fenders..

btw, they are Dunlop SP9000...i used to though they are bad tires...but well..they prove to be as good as, if not better than pilot sport...

 

Depends on which wheel you get. If you get 8x19 and 9x19, you might be able to use 225/35/19 and 255/30/19. That will make a bit of difference too.

 

275/30/19 rear*michelin pilot sport*
245/35/19 front *goodyear F1
this is the setup that i have on my car and the front does rub but then i haven't experienced any rubbing in the rear so far

 

Just curious....why do you put two different brands of tires in your car? Different treads will give you different handling.

 

the story goes... it was raining and my tires were bald *i mean no tread bald* so.. since i am changing my tires ...might as well change the wheels too at the same time so i went to a shop to order. After a couple of hours, the guy called me and told me that there weren't any F1s avilable so ... i just got my tires like that... T_T; now i am stuck with 'em but still handling is still great ^_^;;

 

HAVE 265/30/19 DOESNT RUB AT ALL EVEN WITH FOUR PEOPLE IN THE CAR NO FENDER MODS AND ON EIBACHS RUNNING ON PIRELLIS P7000
