285/40 r19 on stock wheels and lowered on eibach

[muchbread]

Has anyone tried this out? I’m thinking of getting a 285/40/R19 tire for the stock rear wheel. Will it fit? Or would it rub too much.

285/35/19 lowered 0.8" and i broke both rear rock guards. i'd assume many issues with 285/40

Is this with stock wheels? Any spacers?

my bad. yeah, stock 23s, and it was on 15mm spacers

Eibach springs?

What tires?

Was thinking of going 15 mm rears but maybe not anymore, lol

Having trouble visualizing how your tire hits the rock guards? The spacers just move the wheel/tire out. To hit the rock guards the tire would need to move back. And by A LOT. If you tire hits the rock guards it seems like it would be hitting all the way around and doing major damage to everywhere. And a 285/35 versus 275/35 tire difference is insignificant. What am I missing??

the 40 series side wall!

 

[sams2k]

why 40?

295/35 on Whiteline and I’ve somehow got away with having rock guards. No way a 285/40 fits correctly.

He’s not running a 40 aspect ratio. He’s running 35.

they broke from either the everlasting construction on Coral Gables roads or from track & autoX use

the ZL1 rock guards curve down a bit at the bottom

i would point finger to maybe an improper install but.. c'mon.. that's unlikely lol

edit: so i got curious.. looked up old pics. on my first supra, ZL1 guards, 275s rear. no curve, but quite a bit of wear at the bottom. maybe has nothing to do with tires, just bad road conditions lol. sorry!

285/35/19 in the rear, albeit in 19x10.5 +32 wheel sizing. Lowered on Eibach NA Springs which are 0.8" Drop in the rear for MT cars, zero rubbing issues
