fitment

I'm currently running titan 7s TS5 wheels on my BMW M2, the rear wheel is 19x10.5 +34. Currently i have a 275/35/r19 tire on it but im not happy with how much it stretches, does anyone know if i can fit a 285/35/r19 tire on? i have ohlin r&t coilovers on but i did not lower the rear at all.

You will rub under deep compression with the 285/35 even with stock suspension and stock wheels. Go 285/30 n drop the car. I am running 285/30 (standard height) with the same offset and no rubbing. My rear is only 10J though

I've got ohlins r&t coilovers so the rears don't compress that much. do you think it'll still rub?

Yes...the springs still compress under heavy load over humps and dips (which is what you would want instead of getting a metal to metal contact)
