Resurrecting this again ...:D

I'm interested in running 245 35 19 on Revo wheels 19 x 8.5 et45 in a bid to help ride qaulity on the terrible UK roads.

I was previously running a standard R 235 35 19 tyre on Motec wheels - 19 x 8.5 et43 and when the DCC was set at comfort and I pushed the car on bumpy roads I had enough rubbing to need to do the fender mod.

My question is would the Revos on 245 cause more, less or the same amount of rubbing potential then the Motecs on 235?

I usually do 5 days on the Nurburgring in Germany each year and rubbing there is not a good thing at all.

Currently and previously running Michelin PS4 S.

2mm higher offset moves the wheel inboard slightly, but you have 10mm more tire section width (5mm each on inner and outer edge of tires).

You 'll end up 3mm closer to the fender and 7mm closer to the strut on the new setup.

So I would say more potential for rubbing.
