Who's lowered and running 265s up front?

Brenanj1 · 04-04-2018, 07:53 PM

Any rubbing issues either inside to strut, or outside on fender?

Especially under high compression such as track/ Autocross?

(Stock wheels)

Yup, it rubs. I’ll go back to 255/35 once my 265s die.

You’ll find a few threads discussing.

Copy that. Thank you.

It will kiss the wheel arch liner on the front if running 265/35 in stock rims.
I run M4 set up of 265/30 upfront, lowered on coils and zero rub on strut/arch but get the tiniest kiss on inside liner when on full lock to lock.

Not something many may be willing to do but his vid may help the ballsier amongst you...

Out of interest what do you run on the rear? I’ve got coils going on mine soon and just trying to weigh up what tyre size to go for.

I run standard M4 sizing, so 285/30/20 on rears...I believe you can run up to 300s/may be 305s if you want to brave it.

Cheers Bish, didn’t realise it was the comp wheels you ran 👍🏻

A 265/35 19 and 285/35 19 match quite nicely to a 265/30 20 and 285/30 20 on the wheel calculator.

No wonder 265/30/20 rubs slightly on 9” et30mm - 1/2” larger diameter than stock 245/35/19.

265/35/19 is 14mm larger dis so 255/35/19 is probably a safe better to ensure no rubbing.
