I just purchased a set of Volk GT-S's +17 F and +18 R, the offset is really aggresive and i made the mistake of buying super chunky tires . I purchased a set of BF Goodrich 255/35/19 F 285/35/19 R and they are rubbing like crazy! fender roling wouldnt even help per the shop. I was told to get a smaller set of tires and after doing research i found alot of people getting the Toyo T1-R's with this setup in 245/35/19 F 275/35/19 rear. Does anyone have this setup? what should i do? im also a little lowered on Tein 350Z Htechs, its only about .5 lower in the rear. Im at the point now where i must either get a set of these toyos that are soposed to be the best fitment for this setup or get them in 275/30/19. Any help is grealy appreciated as i cant even drive the car right now.

 

Yeah, you have to switch to 245's and 275's to make it work with those offsets. Good luck.

 

285's should fit with a fender roll

 

The shop said the fender roll wouldnt help and after looking at it, i see what they mean. Im just hoping if i get the Toyos in 275/35/19 R i wont rub at all and can anjoy my new wheels. or do i play it safe and get the 275/30/19 that has about an inch shorter diameter.

 

275/35/19 should work just fine with your fenders rolled, 285's would probably work also but it depends on how much camber you're running.

 

THink its safer to go with 275/30/19 and avoid fender roll? I think the diameter of the 275/35 is just .2 inches shorter and i dont think thats gonna cut it. 275/30 is 1.1 shorter.

- anyone have this setup? i searched but still have some questions.

 

the 275/30s fall past the rule of thumb to stay 3% of the overall diameter of the stock wheel/tire combo....the proper size is 275/35.

Those BFG's are known to have more square sidewalls, while other type tires have more rounded shoulders like the Falkens.

I say get the 275/35 tire, then if you still rub roll your rear fender.

 

+1 I wouldn't run 275/30/19, that size is going to be pretty thin... up to you tho man.

 

So i guess the best option is to get the 275/35, Toyos or Falkens? Which would be a better fit?

 

275/35s!! You won't have any problems with that. You have to do a fender roll though, in case.

 

285/35/19 is the best option with a fender roll. I guarantee it will fit

 

Haha thats what im on now and their killin the fenders, roll would help but not enough. have to change em up.. anyone want a brand new set of BF-Goodhich G-Forces? haha

 

you realize the suspension cambers in when it compresses right? I ran 285/35/19's on a 9.5+5(equiv to a 10.5+18) with a fender roll and still cleared by 3mm and I had camber correction. A 285 on a 9.5 bulges alot more than a 285 on a 10.5
Does your tire stick out more than this?

 

I have the setup you're talking about: GT-S with 17 and 18 offset, Toyo T1R 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. I'm also lowered on 350z H Techs. The rears were rubbing a lot, but I haven't had any problems since getting the fenders rolled. Hope everything works out for you
