I'm looking for anyone running a 255/35-19 all around to see if they are any rubbing issues on stock or lowered ride height. I know the "correct" size would be a 245/35/19 but according to the tire calculator in the sticky I'm only going to be off .7% or 60.4mph on speedo with actual of 60mph. I'll take the speedo error in the beginning of tire life to get the extra .4" of tire width. My rims are going to be 19 x 8.5 with a 35mm offset. I think I'm going to be alright since Larrio is running a 9" wide front with a 265 tire and a 35mm offset, but I just want to be sure!! Thanks ahead of time for your input guys/gals!!

Im pritty sure you would be ok unless you slam

I run a 8.5wide rim with a 35 offset with 245's, I can go 255 easy but i cant slam, the tire wont tuck in the wheel wel because of the wide offset.

I've heard classic car guys talk about rolling fenders with a ball bat between the tire and fender. Is this the easiest method? or is this a shop mod on our cars?
