Default AhHhh Tire Sizessss

I have the volk time attack te-37's 9.5 front 10.5 +22 rears offset all around on order and im debating on tire sizes. I know im beating a dead horse ut what do you guys recomend. Im going with the BFG TA's Drags
245/35 or
255/35 front

275/35 or
285/35 rears ???

Id like to run 285's but I dont know if the 285/35 would rub like crazy.
and if I do run 285/35 in the rear is 245's in the front to small in comparison.
I dont want to rub to much in the front concidering im gana slam the car pretty low to where its still functional.
what do you guys think ???

If your car is lowered, 285's will rub non stop on a +22 10.5" wheel. Even 275's are going to rub on that offset, just not as bad.

Thank you for confirming that andy .. ill go with the 275's since its been done before with exact measurments. Do you mind telling me if you run with a spacer. I was thinking of getting a 15mm spacer for the rear. I saw it in a couple photos and it really positioned the rear wheels in an aggresive location.

You can run a 15mm spacer front and rear if you want but you will definitely need to roll your fender cause it will rub. My rear actually does rub now but its cause of the new suspension.

22 offsets are agressive enough. Better get ready to roll your fenders....
