I'm running coupe rears all around. Will a 255/35 tire fit up front with no rubbing issues on an 04 sedan??

 

I think it should be okay, especially if you are stock height or even mildly lowered (I don't see any susp mods in your sig)...you can also put a 245/35 on that 9.5" wheel.

Hoping others will chime in.

 

I know the 245/35 or 245/40 will fit but I'm trying to run a 255/35 in the rear and maybe (crosses fingers) be able to rotate these tires. Otherwise maybe I'll just go 245/40 all around.

I'll be dropping on sedan S-Techs shortly...

 

^^ That'll be awesome, Ken, can't wait to see the results.

 

Thanks. I think the drop will be nice. Just need to figure out which tires to run lol.

If I can't run a 255 all around maybe I'll just run them in the rear. Haven't decided yet.

 

During hard cornering, I rub in the front on a 245/40-18 tire with a 8" rim and 35mm offset,
tire has a sectional width of 9.8" and a thread width of 9" rolling diameter 25.7"
(larger diameter's bring you closer to fender lips and less likely to clear courtesy of camber gain)

19"x8.5" +33mm offset
^ This is the rim spec your running in the front, correct?

Using the same tire to get a general idea of widths, the RE11
245/35-19 sectional width 9.8" thread width 9" rolling diameter 25.8"
255/35-19 sectional width 10.2" thread width 9.4" rolling diameter 26"

You would have to dial in a stupid amount of negitive camber to hope to clear the 255 setup on a 33mm offset. Adding in
how S-tech's have a 2" drop and really soft springs that will allow plenty of body roll, not good. I'm dropped 1/4" less and have a lot more roll stiffness vs a S-tech setup.

 

Yes, that is the correct wheel size/offset I will be running. Interesting.... looks like I'll be going with a 245 set up in front then.

Out of curiosity, what are you dropped on?
