Fitment Question - Lowered w/ 19x10 ET50 & 275 PSSs?
Hi guys,
Please don't flame me, I have done alot of searching and can't find a definite answer on this.
I am considering buying some wheels and I want to confirm they will fit before I pull the trigger.
Front - 19x8.5 ET35
Rear - 19x10 ET50
Now if I buy there wheels I would be lowering the car, probably on H&R springs but might be on coilovers.
The question is will the rear fit with Michelin PSS 275/30 on a lowered car?
Alot of searching has some people saying it will fit and some people saying it won't.
My conclusion is 265s will work in the rear but I am not a fan of the stretched look and would prefer some extra wheel protection.
From my research I have found the fronts (19x8.5 ET35 w/ 245s) will work without a problem on a lowered car.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I run 275 PSS in the rear with ET +48. I'm lowered on H&R springs.
I only rub on very bumpy road at high speed (but who wants to speed on bad roads
) or loaded (4 passenger + trunk full of groceries). I drive my car every day.
So you should be fine with ET +50 on 10x19" rear. My front is ET +40 and no problem at all on 245 PSS but it is tight. I think +35 should work on 235 tires & lowered. My feeling is it will rub a bit on 245.

Thanks for the replies, this is why I asked the question. +50 should rub more than +52 if all else is equal.
I think the squareness of the rubber is making the difference.

My old car was slammed, and when I moved into my current house I had to raise the suspension because I was destroying the car.
I am actually hoping to get 275s on there.
I am hopefully going to be putting a Weistec S/C on in the near future so grip is going be very important.
Then again the section width of the 265s is 10.7 and the 275s is 10.9 so not sure if it will make much difference.
If that is the case I can just take my 265/30s off my 19" Multispokes and use them.
