Hey guys, i just put 255's on the back and they seem to be rubbing somewhere a bit. It seems like it happens only when my rear suspension is under heavy load. Does anyone else that runs 255's have this problem?

I have 265s in the back and never felt any rubbing. Are you sure it's rubbing?

N.M.M.

i have 265's on 19" rims. the driver side rear rubs

more151please

255/35 on 18's no rubbing and lowered by H & R.

It can depend on the tyre manufacturer as some though 255 look wider than other brand 255s. I have Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s with no rubbing even with 5 people on board at high speed through dips and turns.

I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, 255 in the rear and 235 in the front, no rubbing issues.

Is your offset stock? (Are you running stock wheels?) Once you go away from stock wheels, almost anything can happen.

i have 265 rear and slammed on kw but i did roll the fenders and only rubs if im hauling *** on on and off ramps but i cant have four people in my car....

its the profile makes it wider or narrow

profile makes it thinner or thicker in the sidewall. the width is width. some brand like Falken cut their tires much narrower with slanter sidewalls.
