Will I get tire rub with this setup?

[RowanBuds]

I'm going to have the folllowing wheels on the car:

19X9.5 ET 25 (F)
19X10.5 ET 35 (R)

Planned on using 285/35 MPSS Rear and 265/35 up front. Can't find the 285's anywhere. Could I go to 275 (35) / 295 (35) MPSS on these wheels without rubbing at all?

Stock suspension M3, no spacers.

Thanks.

You should be perfectly fine with either in regards to rubbing.

Not getting into the OD issue and MDM. To be brief just make sure the OD ratio F/R is as close to stock as possible.

Great! Thanks for the input. OD difference stock front to rear is 0.6". Per TireRack, the 275-35 / 295-35 OD difference is 0.5". I'd think I'm within acceptable margin of difference with 1/10 of an inch, agreed?


*edit* - your alias of "wheel whore" makes me very confident in your response - thanks!

Why only 285 with a 10.5 wheel??

I'm running a 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 with 9.5 ET 20 front and 11 ET 40 rear.

I would do 275/30 and 295/30 or 265/35 and 305/30.

Good luck getting the mpss in 265. The only tire I've seen that had 285 is Bridgestone or maybe Yokohama. I don't think mpss has a 285.
