Anyone running 255/35/19 & 285/35/19?

I currently have the following rims: Volk SF Challenge 19x9.5" & 19x10.5".. I'm thinking of getting wider tires since my current setup (Falken Azenis @ 245/35/19 & 275/30/19) are pretty stretched and too thin which makes my wheel gap pretty ugly. I'm thinking of upgrade to some Toyo T1-R's @ 255/35/19 & 285/35/19. Anyone running these tires on Volks with 19x9.5 and 19x10.5? Any comments? They should be pretty flush, right? --and won't rub.. too much.. that is. I'm lowered on Tein S-techs, btw. Well, if anyone that chime in and help me out, I'd appreciate it.


Thanks,
Jeff

Cool

What are your offsets? Unless they are really agressive, you should be fine.

I have seen a bunch of people running the 255 / 285 set up...w/ no problems.

However, I am NOT happy with my T1-R's!

The side walls feel mushy and the corner feel is vague.

I had T1-S's before and loved them! What did you do Toyo????

I believe my offsets are +23 front and +21 rear. I'm going with Toyo since I can get 4 tires for $600.. Maybe I'll look into BFG's.. but BFG's are too damn beefy.

Yes, I do have those tires. They're pretty good and quiet.. not bad. If you want them, I might just sell mine to you when I get new ones. They have about 60-70% thread left.. 245/35/19 & 275/30/19 for like.. cheap. I don't know. PM me an offer if you'd like.
