So, I just got a free set of Falkens, from Falken Tire Corp..
FK-451 Eruo Sports.
I have 19.5 rear wheels.
So I orderd the 265 35 19 and 135 35 19 front.
The only problem is they are out of 265's
The want to send me 275 35 19
Should be fine rignt?
My rears do not rub at all right now, I am lowerd..

hmmmi think 275 will rub.. so vader.. no more toyo?

There must be a typo there, 135/35 in the fronts???? 235/35 are the correct tires

You WILL rub on 275's, even if the car was NOT lowered you would rub.

With your current 265's in the rear, I can asure you I can get your car rubbing in no time at all. I have the same wheel/tire set up (Tires: Front: 235/35 Z R19 Rear: 265/30 Z R19) and my C32 "doesn't rub", yeah right... put adults in the back seat, is a diff story.. same will be your car.. (that is based on the info you've posted on width of your wheels + tires)

Yeah, I just talked to Brabus, they said NO WAY..
I called Falken and told em I could wait for the 265's
I heard the tires are good.

I have 2 cars, so one is a Toyo Car and one Is a Falken Car!!!!!

Those Toyo T-1s get NOISY after around 6000 miles..

The only time my car rubbed, was with 3 people, high speed turn, and it was "Slight" The Dark Side suspension is just superior to the C3p0 foot cart.

well keep us posted on how u like those falkens!!! My nittos are a decent street tire but on the track, wow... those huge surface patches grab hold of that VHT and doesnt seem to want to let those tires spin!!

Vader13

ooogghh shiit!!!

Wiedermann

haha

The dark side of the Brabus is heavy and rubs!!.. but so do most if not all the 265's on R19s... (with the correct offset that is, if you change the offset to tuck the wheel in you will have more room, but the rear wheels will look more in that the ones in the front... )

My car will also rub in the same way that you described, I need adults in the rear, and in a high turn, or huge dip on the road a highway speeds and then BANG!.. the rub is heard loud and clear... with me on the car, it doesn't happen...

Where is the video???... Vader... as always, you are the lord of the dark side of the Brabus ONLY on the forum... the rest..hmmm I don't know... haha!!

Cheers!

done testing on upwards of 6-8 sets of tires for the C32 and I can say 275 will rub. But then again some 265's will rub and 255's in r-comp tires rubs as well. 18 inch wheels with the new Dunlop SP SSR tire rubs in the rear in 255 size while the car never rubbed with 3 different brands of 265's. It is all in the shape of the side wall. I have never seen the Falkin tire so i can not comment.

Toyo T1-S's are known for their extremely rounded side wall and this allows them to not rub in most fitments. The Goodyear GS-D3 was more squair and it rubbed up front on some C32's (in 235 sizing). The S-03 rubbed both front and back with 235/265.

I would not try a 275 for it will rub but so could the 265. Good luck.

That rub sounds like something you might want to fix. A cut tire at speed is never safe. I would forget the looks here and be safe....

Vader13

here is the tire, I had Falkens on one my old ricer cars, they were grippy and soft..I loved em..

Wiedermann

Agreed 100%

BenzoAMGpower

Vader13

Nope, I am putting them on the stock AMG 17's.
Might do a little street racing with them too.
