Well, a 265/30 is 1" smaller than a 265/35. That's 1/2 less rubber all the way around the tire to fill in the fender.

It isn't much, but it will create the illusion of the car being higher than it really is and create more gap around the wheel..not necessarily above it...but the sides as well.

yes i totally agreee ....but on the next rear tires i get i am deff going to go with a 265/35/19 ... so with the drop and the 30 i should roll the fenders with a +35 rear ... cause im thinkin b4 i drop it just be safe and do it now so later dow the road when i do get 35's i will be fine and that would be one less thing id have to worry about ...

dude i say roll your fenders no matter what. because if you do rub then you would have to drive around untill you roll them and that might be bad....also i stopped listening to what people say i was told that 255/35/19 in the rear with a 25 offset wont rub......ya right....and im not lowered

On a stock suspension that's running at the correct ride height, you won't rub. That tire is .3" smaller than stock so you should have at least an inch of clearance between the tire and the wheel well. The offset wouldn't matter, as it will only tell you if you're outside the wheel well or not, but you should be well below the wheel arch regardless. If you're rubbing, and you're not lowered, then something is wrong with your suspension. I can pretty much guarantee it.

Take some pics and maybe we can see if there's a problem. And measure from the ground to the highest point on the bottom of the wheel arch. From what you're saying, it's going to be around 26", the same height as your 26" diameter tires, which is at least an inch lower than stock ride height. You may not be intentionally lowered, but that doesn't mean your springs are functioning correctly.

BTW, I agree with you on the rolling. If in doubt, just get them rolled.

If you do this, make sure your car is parked on level ground, otherwise you're wasting your time.

FRONT


REAR


whole side now
As said before, bright colors are for BBKs not SBKs (stock brake kits). Go black/charcoal. Looks like your car is ready to drive though deep puddles Mine was the same before my drop.
