Calling All who run 18" mono's w 255/35 rear.

I need a quick question answered,with C43 euro suspension with #1 pads could you run 18x9 ET30 255/35 rear without any rub issues what so ever?

How much space do you currently have on your standard E55 18x9 255/35 et35 rear?, do you find yourself thinking it could have sat out another 5mm?

Much thanks,
Paul

I've got the same suspension with a 265/35/18 on a E55 rear wheel. It rubs a tiny bit only is someone is in the back, I think a 255 would have been fine, it only bearly touches on the very edge of the tyre.

Does the outer of your wheel rub on the area where the rear bumper meets the guard or is it elsewhere?

That must be tight?, no guard rolling?
