:iagree: or go down to a 275/30/20. Shorter tire gives you a little more clearance under full compression but narrower is the better choice and guaranteed fix.

Would i be able to fit a narrower tire on the 10.5 rim? Would that fix it?

a 255/35 would be a very small stretch to the point you would barely be able to notice. Not only that but you would get a little more clearance from the slight stretch too. A 265 will fit with no stretch at all but without pics, its hard to say how much more clearance you need to fit.

I have a question...I'm running PS2's as well but I am not impressed with traction on the drive wheels. So I am wondering if you all have any issues getting traction? At a 5 mph roll in first gear I can really lose traction if I floor it all through redline. Don't even mention what happens if I floor it while stopped (from 1k rpm's). I spend more time spinning tires then moving...LOL! Oh and thats with traction control on! Do these tires lose alot of there traction once they get close to the indicators? Like 4/32's?

255/25/20 on a 10.5 rim? Is this a good idea?

ur offset is fine. ur tire size is wrong.

should be 275 30 29. not 35. so ur tire is too tall.

I'm resurrecting this old dinosaur

I have 19x11 +13 and 19x10 +30 wheels heading my way and am eyeing tires. Like Phunk, I'm eyeing 275/35/19 and 305/30/19. I'll be installing them with Swifts on my Nismo. I know I'll be close to rubbing running a 275, does anyone have experience running these offsets on Swifts?

These offsets are similar to Nismo wheels running 15mm spacers.

For the track I've run the OEM rear Rays (19x10 +30) with a Toyo R888 295/30r19 without rubbing. -2.8 camber, about an inch and a quarter lowered on BC coils. No rubbing and no fender modifications.

Thanks guys! help me out. bought 2 rear enkei wheels (base trim) and slapping 275/35 all corners. There is so much debate on tire brand so i will continue to educate myself till i know what i want out of the tire.

What is your front wheel offset?

+30 with the fronts. It's a 19x10. Same offset as the stock rear sport wheels.
