Tire size question
So right now i am running 19x8.5 ET 45 with 225/35 tires and 19x10 ET55 with 265/30. I am curious if i can run 245/35 on the front and 285/30 on the back without rubbing or what?

with ET 55 and 19x10 for the rears, you can run 275's, but it'd have to be a narrow tire like the Toyo Proxes. I believe member Frnakito had this set up and he was lowered on H&R Super Sport springs with the 5mm spring shim pads.
IMO when comparing the H&R Super Sport springs and the H&R Sport springs, the Super Sport being lower actually helped with clearance because it'll give more camber for the rear.
With 285's you'd definitely rub.

I am trying to get my tire to be flush with my rim, right now the lip of my rim is out further then the tire and my tire right now is slightly stretched and i don't want that anymore! but from a 265 to a 275 isn't much of a difference! i was on nitto tires website and i am looking at the Nitto Invo and with that tire it says a 285 is in right middle for a 10 rim.
