Tire Help for new set of 19"s
I have been searching the forum to confirm but haven't found a clear answer:
rim set up 19x9.5 +21 19x10.5 +35 lowered on H&R springs tire sizes are 275/35 and 295/35 conti ECS any thoughts on rubbing and fitment? thinking rubbing will be an issue maybe additional camber might help any suggestions on sizing if the above may rub? Thanks |

Personally, with those wheels and springs, I would go with 265/35/19 front and 295/30/19 rear. The tires you selected are pretty tall in comparison (but front to rear height stagger is good), and with them being that wide, I think they're going to give you trouble with H&R SS springs, both in front and back.
However, if you pull that off with those specs without rubbing, it will look mean as all hell. |

Should be ok I’ve run 275/35 19 pss and ps4s on 19x10 at +20 and +25 on H&R springs in the front with only a tiny rub of the fender liner at full lock and no rubbing at speed as you only go full lock at parking lot speeds and I’ve also run ps4s 295/30 20 (virtually same as 295/35 19) on 20x11 +40 in the rear with no rub at all (I’ve also run 295/30 19 +32.5 in rear and cleared outer fender) as ntg44 said it will be tight but from my experience it will work and overall diameter bias will be same as stock just taller which will help with comfort slightly as there is more sidewall and also makes gearing slightly longer which won’t hurt as the s55 makes lots of torque down low...hope this helps

Update on fit
Ok got it done. Normal driving not rubbing but full lock turn will probably rub front inner fender liner. Super happy with how it came out!

Nice work glad you like it looks sweet... the front fenders will self clearance a bit and the tires will only get smaller as the tread wears down... also might consider some black spray can inside the wheel hubs to complete the look, I prefer the no center caps look on some race wheels like the TE’s but don’t care for the rusty hubs, you can use a paper cup and take the bottom out or something similar to keep any overspray off the outside of the wheel and do it with them on the car if you want

That fat rear tire and the fitment in general makes me weak in the knees. I have the 18 inch ECS 265/285 on my stock wheels, and this tire looks awesome when the sidewall is ballooned out a bit, as in your photos.
My new RE-71Rs are a little disappointing in that respect (and only that respect). I should have done more research and gone wider. But they perform how I wanted them to, so I guess that's most important. |

also found some front fender well rubbing as well with this set up full locked turns but will keep the suspension and tire set up for now maybe change springs to something with a little less of a drop later.
