AARRGGHHH RUN FLATS

So i have gotten 4 flats in like 3 weeks. My rear tires where needing replacing so I decided to swap them with run flats. I got the correct size for 19", same as my old ones 275 35 19. Dagnabit they freaking rub!!!!!!

Just letting anyone know that if they go run flats that even if they get the correct size it will rub the outer lip with 19" tires. I am going to try to fold it in a little when the weather gets better outside.

It may also just be the brand of tire. Some may rub, others may not. Sounds like it worked itself out by your above post. Is the car lowered? Looks like it is.

Car is not lowered to my knowledge. I had regular brigestones before and they did not rub. noticed from old pictures that the run flats ARE a little wider. apparently they rolled the fender for me after a little while of driving. Everything's good now.
