Default tire size??? w/spacers and drop

hey guys trying to figure out what tire size would be best and wouldnt rub with my set up.

Heres what i got:

03 track rays
eibach pro kit springs
15mm spacer front/ 25mm rear.

Im thinking of a 245/35 front and a 265/35 rear.

I would rather do a 245/40 and a 265/40 but i think the rear might rub. Its reeeaaalllll close right now (to the fender) in the rear with the stock 245/45 and the spacer.

what do you guys think?

i would say change ur spacers to run wider widths and w/o worries. do you really need 25mm spacers in the back? that's what i'd probably look into first..

roll your rear fenders for more clearance, and run 40 series tires on the 18's, 35 series are meant for 19's and will make your tire diameter too short overall compared to the stock diameter

I don't think you will increase your contact patch at all putting a 265 on a 8.5" rim. I'd go 245/40F and 255/40R.

I just put 265 on my rear 03' rays and I have spacers, 15mm FR 20mm rear. It's also dropped with eibachs. I'll post a pick this saturday after I get my rears aligned.
