Default Just got new Stance rims. Need help with tires

Whats up guys. Just bought sexy new Stance SC-5s.. Need help selecting tire size for the rears. I'm lowered on Fsport springs and shocks. Wheel specs are 19x8.5 Front and 19x9.5 Rears. Offset of 35 on all four. I'm going with 235/35 up front but not sure for the rears. I know the 265/30 will be fine but I want to get as much rubber as possible without having to deal with rubbing issues. Don't want to modify fenders either. Will a 275/30 fit in the rears with a 35 offset?? I'll post some pics of the wheels tomorrow. Can't wait to put these on!!!

I would stay with a 255 tire 265 at most without fender mods but I still think you are gonna have a few issues on a 265 with +35 offsets. A fender roll will fix that issues but you don't want to do fender mods. Congrats on your new rims

I'm running 19x9.5 wheel's with 38+offset wrapped in 275/30R19 tires on my rears with Tein H-Tech drop springs. The drop is close to the F-Sport springs and I get no rubbing issues what so ever.

For some reason I thought the op said hr springs. On f sports he should be fine with either tire.

It all depend on the tires brand too, some tires are made narrow and some made flat wide even it in the same tire size

Car looks sharp!! I really want to put the 275s on rather than the 265s for more pothole protection. You think the 3mm difference in my offset will cause rubbing? I can always move to the 255/35 but the rear will be slightly stretched.

I'll have the pics up of the wheels tonight. They look like the Vossen CV3s but have a chrome lip. IMO - think they look nicer.
