I just got some enkei ts5 18/9.5/+45 in bronze and wanted 275/35/18 tires but am worried about rubbing with spirited driving. Was going to get ps4s if that helps. Please help a stressed out enthusiast in need!!

Good to go on stock suspension!
Is there a reason you went 265/35 instead? I would go 265 but I feel like the wheel gap looks more apparent on boost blue

Because I had just purchased these tires and had them on a +35 offset set of wheels originally. When they wear down I’ll be getting the 275’s. I have +45 now.

I swear its a 50/50 some people says it rubs under certain conditions and others say not

Tirerack has actual tire dimensions. Not all tires are the same with the same numerical size.

It honestly depends on the tire maker and its model, the actual contact patch varies so different. I'm in the crowd where they rub under very specific conditions, but it is livable for me 90% of my driving since I'm solo almost all the time. More here:

Thanks for the info. I just picked up Michelin ps4s, haven't installed yet. Has it rubbed while going around a corner hard, with no passengers?
