245/35/20's rubbing in front
#31
what do u think I should run with only z 350z H teins on T1S 20X9.5 R/10.5 O +15 all around? 245/30/20 and 275/30/20?

245/30/20 is the proper size in the front. Don't like the extra wheel gap? Easy fix... drop it some more. In my opinion, making the tire look taller doesn't make it look any better. And besides, you are probably slower with a taller 245/35/20 size in the front than you are with the correct size (as if 20's don't make it bad enough).

245 35 20 on a 20x9.5 with offset about 30 - no rub at stock height, slight rub on VERY heavy dips then slight rub on reasonable dips after being lowered.
Now with 255 35 20 and it rubs the fender edge while turning on uneven ground or turning whilst going over large bumps. The 245's were nankang and the 255's Pirelli with a much bulkier side wall. 255 also raises the sidewall thickness a tad. I removed the fender liner clip/screws along the wheel arch edge and stuffed the liner further upwards. They have rubbed some holes through and sort of made their own clearance so I hardly hear any scrubbing anymore. The wheel arch has also been "pulled" or more so pushed outwards by the tire maybe 1/4 inch which also gave itself enough clearance.
I think the only way to get flush is to either stretch the tire more or add camber to combat the induced rake when the wheels are turned. I prefer to keep the wide 255's and subtle camber.
