Tires are a little stretch I would get 245 and 275 for next tires.
Bumping an old thread and sort of off-topic, but I'm looking to get into a new set of shoes (19x9 et. 35 F and 19x10 et. 38 R - exactly the same spec as SNK). They recommend 235 F and 265 R, and I, too, don't really like stretched tires. I have the M-Sport package (lowered by 10mm) and I did some quick measurements, it looks like the wheel currently has about 1.5 inch clearance from the fender, max (when wheel is completely turned left or right). If I go 245s up front, I'd lose 1/3 inch clearance. That means I would only have about .75inches if even that (or about < 19mms). I know they won't rub from normal driving, but what about over speed bumps and potholes? Uneven roads? A little over half an inch clearance scares me on the not-so-perfect NJ roads (in terms of rubbing and hitting the fender... bubbles and bent rims I've come to accept ) Is anyone running the same set-up and have some problems with rubbing and clearance?
