Tire ? for those who are Lowered...

im running 275/35/19's on the back with H&R springs on the car. Im going to get new rear tires was wondering if i would be ok running 275/40/19's without rubbing issues?

Anyone running this setup?

Re: Tire ? for those who are Lowered......

Those are .8 inches taller than stock on the sidewall, and wider. I just installed a set that are .5" taller and are marginal. they don't rub, but I think with the .3" more and the wider they probably will rub. I do have 12mm spacers though.

Here's a pretty good tire calculator.
