Will 285/35/19 fit rear and 255/35/19 fit front?

I'm going with the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 tire and I have 19" PIAA Super Rozza's on my car now...the front rim is 9" wide while the rear is 10"...will I have ANY issues with the tire rubbing on the inside of the wheel well?

Your fronts might rub on full lock turns. That only happens to me in a parking deck situation. 10.5 on the rear will rub definitely with those tire sizes without rolling. Not sure about 10".

255 i think is a lil to wide. For the rear i think it should be fine.

I am running 245/35 & 275/35 not dropped and I can see plenty of clearance for me to go bigger. I plan to go 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 once this T1-R wears out. My et is 24 front 23 back

I decided on the 245/275 combo...don't want to risk it...went with the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's this time...better rated than the BFGoodwrinch KDW2 and Bridgestone S03's...we'll see.

I didn't want to risk the tire rubbing in the rear since I have such an aggressive drop...also, the more staggered the front/rear is, the more understeer you'll feel. If this was only dragged, I'd go with what got more tire to the ground, but because I road race alot, i wanted a more balanced set-up. This is my happy medium.

Darn, I saw this too late. I'm running 255's on the front with NO PROBLEMS on my PIAA's.

I'm dropped about .75" in the front too. I've had my rear fenders rolled (shaved and painted actually) in hopes to be able to clear the 285's but I don't think that's doable with our aggressive +25 offset and any sort of a drop without a camber/toe kit (which I finally have now).

If you play with your rear camber I bet you can get 285's to work. Positive camber pulls in the tire from the bottom. This also makes the top of the tire come INTO the wheel well a little. Too bad you already went 245/275...
