Spec. No rubbing at all with 265's. I'm planning on lowering soon though, but it still won't be a problem. I could have run 275's if I knew I wasn't going to be throwing some H&R's on.

If your not dropping your ride and u want flush sidewalls w no visible stretch the correct size is 245/35/19 F and 275/30/19 R. Now I run 235/265 like most here cause it makes ur tires look lower profile, thats the real reason peeps do it, run 225/255 and it looks like rubber bands LOl....

SpecDavis whats up w u rubbin on 255? whats ur offset on the rears? what coils u on and are u all the way down? What brand tires?
