Sup all,

Easy question...I guess I'll find out soon enough but will this tire fit before I buy?

I was even thinking 265/35...but if you do mount the 255 on the +19 let me know how it fits. Currently have 245/35 and its stretched.

 

Still havent got them mounted (doing this on friday). Anyway is there anything I can do to modify the front fenders if there IS rubbing? I'm hoping my ride height doesnt screw me over on this, but in my experience the +19's with 245/35/19 seem to have plenty of room.

Not sure how the pirelli's will compare in the 255/35/19 size and my +19 offset...

ANYONE? No one can help me? I always help even if its something someone can easily find..no one to my knowledge has done this and my searches have come up inconclusive.


help!!!

 

i think someone from performance nissan pushed out their front fenders to fit some crazy wide tires (though i dunno the offset of the rims). I think it *might've* been 275's, but for the life of me i can't remember. So if 255/35/19 doesn't fit, you can do that bit of fender modification as an option.

 

Thanks noodle...didn't they like "shave" the front fenders? If this is something I will have to do, the car is going to be stupid slammed. Why shave the fenders if you're not even goin to use it...right?

the front fenders come "pre-rolled"...so i think it's just a matter of pushing out the fenders..so nothing to really shave/cut..

If your lowered, it will rub. I'm running +22 on a 9.5 rim with 255/35 and get this annoying scraping sound when I hit dips or speed bumps on the highway. I also rub during hard cornering. I'm lowered a little more than an inch in the front and was thinking my best bet would be to raise it 1/4" - 3/8". Hope this helps.

 

Fawking sh*t. What brand tire do you have ? Does it rub when you turn?

Dammit, how low are you slammed?

 

I'm running BF Goodrich KDW NT's and I'm not rubbing when turning. I'm lowered about 1.5 inches in the front and 1-1.25 in the rear. I wish there was another way to fix the rubbing besides pushing the fenders out or raising it back up... I really like the drop I currently have...

 

Thanks for the help. The KDW's run wide so hopefully my pirelli's will fit. We'll find out soon enough, thanks so much.

The answer:

NO THEY DON'T!!! the 255's look AWESOME compared to the 245...

There is VERY VERY SLIGHT rubbing on full turn, only because my car is super slammed...the stance now is just INSANE.

Guess what I put on the rears?

295/30/19 !!!!!!!! on a 10.5" with +17 offset... F the haters, f the stretching, the car looks EVIL now...

hope this helps....

Damn Ravi that's awesome! 295s?!? Did you roll the rears more? Wow...must look sick though! Send me pix when you get a chance! And here I'm worried about +17s with a 275/35

 

BTW, which Pirelli's did you get?

 

P-Zero Rosso..will post pics when i can ...car is caked and the shop didnt want to even TOUCH the car lmao...

"sir, there are NO WAY these are going to fit, your car tucks in back slightly.."

one hour transpires

"damn, they fit"


HAHAHAHHAHA Dude, I know my sh*t.

ravi

 

do it.

 

DO IT!!! ive got 295-30-19's on the rear continentals and it looks AWESOME!!!
but you need to roll and rolling is very easy!
next i will be doing 255 on the front also

Will

 

So no additional rolling? Interesting...very interesting...

 

With my ride height, it will be a necessity--going to a shop next week to take care of it.

Definitely full roll in the back now, and the fronts I will widen out so that I dont rub at all. That sound really bugs me...

I am gonna post only one pic--b/c I want to save the photoshoot for some new stuff
