Those wheels look really familiar for some reason...

20 spoke polished RCF wheels I bought several months back from another member in Florida. So far so good. Put BFG G-Force Comp 2 AS on. Big improvement over the mismatched set the dealer gave me and so far the ride feels smoother and more comfortable. Kind of concerned about the front though. 255/35/19 are really close to the cotter pin and the 275/35/19 in the back barely allow me to get my fingers in between the fender and tire. Surprised though that under my normal driving by myself I'm not rubbing. I'll have to see about that with passengers and more spirited driving.

^^^^Just ran out to the garage and took this pict. I'm also running RCF wheels (the standard wheel - my favorite). Same offset as yours. But, I'm running 295/30 in back - Same height as stock tire, and 255/35 in front - also same height as stock tire. As you say the front wheel comes within a hair of the A Arm, but does not touch it. I've had them for awhile now and absolutely no issues in front. My rears did rub even with rolled fenders. My rear fenders are now rolled so as to be flat against the inner surface to clear the 295s. Rubbing is almost eliminated. I luv the setup, and as as I said I was able to retain the height of the stock tires.

I wanted to go with 295's (mainly because of your post) but circumstances didn't allow for that this set of tires. I do plan on getting another set at some point. I like the tires and like the way the rear fills the fender well. I'm actually more okay with the rear than the front because I know the fenders can be rolled. The front, when the wheel is turned, is about .75-1" under the cotter pin. Just wondering what happens in hard turns where outter wheel suspension compresses. I don't know if there's enough room for me to enjoy the car like I used to. It kinda feels like I'm always riding hostage from two nails 1 inch away from leaving me on the side of the road with two worthless new tires and praying for a competent tow truck driving (silence).
