Default Rims and tires fitment question
Hello

New here and just needed some quick help.

I want to buy 4 used borbet xa rims

they are all 5x114,3

ET 35

Michelin Pilot Sport 245-35-19

Will they all fit without rubbing or is 245 too wide for the front?

Thank you!

assuming they are 19" wheels (based on the tire size you provided), what are their widths? is the set a staggered set (read: are the rears wider than the front)?

to maintain oem rolling diameter:

225/35-19
255/35-19

to answer your question, 245/35-19 would be too wide (and tall) for the front.
