Hey peps!
I needed new front & rear tires so i bought 4x Pirelli Pzero and wanted to go alittle wider than stock but still keep the comfort so i went with 265/35 for the rears and 235/40 up front. I'm also running 20mm h&r spacers both front n rear.
So.. i picked up my car from the tireshop yesterday and omw home i noticed the rears rubbing when going on uneven highway roads
No rubbing at all with 20mm spacers and stock tire dimensions, even with a fully packed car and 4 ppl... But its rubbing with only me in the car now.. so what should i do? Should i get my fenders rolled? Or should i buy 15mm spacers instead? Does anyone know if 265/35 with 15mm spacers will work? I really dont want to go down to stock dimensions or go with lower aspect ratio..

I have removed the spacers for now. But lots ppl are telling me not to roll the fenders.. I asked a well known tireshop here in southern sweden if they could do it but they didnt want to touch it

We had 3x 5mm spacers laying around at work so i put em on and had 3 ppl sit in the car, it felt pretty tight.. I think that it would rub with 15mm spacers so i prolly need to go down to 10mm.. I'll go down at take a pic right away!

well people are putting 285 on the stock rims with no rubbing. I would buy 15mm and call it a day.

Yer but the ppl that are running wider tires are running lower profile, eg 275/30. Im running stock profile with my 265/35s.. but its weird.. im going to roll my fenders this weekend and hopefully i won't crack the paint

So.. i got my fenders rolled this weekend and unfortunately i'm still rubbing! But only with 4 ppl in the car.. ![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
I'm thinking bout downsizing the profile and going with 275/235 with 30 profile instead as i want to keep my spacers
Does anyone know if 275/30-19 with 20mm spacers works without any rubbing?
