Default 19x8.5 ET 36 w/ 245/35 & 19x9.5 ET 32 w/ 255/35 pose any problems?

Got the new wheels about ready to ship and wondering if anyone with aftermarket wheels & tires sees a problem/potential problem with my setup. I see others are running RS6 replicas ET30 with 245/35/19 and there are no rubbing issues. Just looking for some input. TIA

Default fronts should be fine, not too sure about the rear.

I think we have seen someone with a 265 in the rear which kind of stuck out from the fender and did result in some rubbing, but I don't think anyone has tried a 255. . .

I have the same 19x8.5 et36 in the front with 245's with NO rubbing so you should be fine in the front.

Do your rear wheels seem to be real close to the suspension, whats your offset?

Default I've got et32 in the rear, but on 8.5" wheels. .

They seem fine with plenty of room, but you are talking about a 9.5" with a 255 which is going to be more wheel and more tire. . . You can probably fit them, but you will have some rubbing.

235 is recommended anyway ... and the carpet will wear down eventually
