Exclamation I need ur opinions!!!!

I just got new rims and the rear tires rubs on the fender when i go over bumps on the freeway. not the little ones but the angled ones and big dips. the rear tire size is 285/35 19x10.5 and offset is +24. i'm still on stock suspension. the guy at wheelwarehouse said he'll swap out the tires for 275/35 but i like the way the 285 looks. what should i do???

You should go back to stock rims.

hahahaa j/k

I think you've only got a couple options left:

1. Roll Fenders
2. Swap out the wheels to the 275's.

You're looking to drop your car on springs right?
If you're still lookin to drop your ride, then you're definitely gonna need to get the 275's. Dropping on aftermarket springs will make the rubbing worse.

Let us know how it goes.

Yeah bro.
But my offset is a little less aggressive than yours.
I'm at +31 in the rears vs +24 on yours.

Click Cardomain in my sig for full details.

Take her to WW and get those swapped out man.
Rolling fenders isn't a horrible thing, but it's just better avoided.
Sorta like a last resort thing.

ok one more question, what cons would there be to keep the front's at 255/35 and the rear 275/35?

I don't think there'd be any cons about keeping the set-up, but i think going with 275/35s are the closest thing to the stock rolling stocks without affecting the speedo too much, not just to keep the tires from eating away at your rear fenders....you 'might' rub with 255s in the front once you lower your car. but that's a 'might-rub'...not sure if you will, but most people go with 245s in the front.
