Didn’t realize you were running a spacer. Did you need it for the tires to clear, or just playing it safe?

The 265/30 is 5mm wider on each side than the 255/35, so he may very well need the 7.5mm spacer at a minimum if your 255/35s rubbed.
I was playing it safe from one of the posts above that was running kw's. When I ran ET35 with 5mm spacers I was rubbing the spring perch on 265/35 toyos. I did 12mm back then that set me at ET23. But with these at ET28 I can't even see fitting a 12mm to begin with as I'd be right at the fender with ET16.
