They shouldn't....You can go 285 without issues (from what I've heard)

It also depends on the tire. Yokohama's run wide, Toyos don't. What tire are you considering?

I need to look into Goodyear for personal reasons. I've never looked at them before, but I don't

think they are known for being wide like the Bridgestones, for instance.

I had rubbing issues 245 with the MS kit

Dunlop Direzza's... the car was pretty damn low, so had to raise it a bit, and remove the nub at the top of the fender, in the middle.

Strange, it was stated here by Stasis personnel that rubbing was impossible...

because total suspension travel did not exceed stock. This assumes either stock wheels/tires or correct offset and not exceeding max allowable tire width. The same wheel liner nub doesn't rub stock.

I say this at the risk of the Apostle of Stasis enlightening me : )

I have 275/30/19 and never rubbed. On stock wheels with no spacers. Lowered to no gap.

My goodyears definitely run wide...

My f1 Assymetrics are one of the widest 245s I've seen. Just be careful if you go Goodyear to go with a profile that's not going to rub. I had to roll my fenders for the drop. Great tires though!!
