Hey guys, I'm on the fence on which tire size to choose. I'm on 18x9.5 +45 wheels. I see a lot of posts on the forum of people running 255/40, 265/35, and 275/35. Seems rubbing can depend a lot on the tire you choose. Anyone have Advan V601s? I really want to run the 275/35 but am concerned they may rub. Currently running 255/40 for my UHP A/S tires and I like the amount of space they take up in the wheel well but want to go wider. Since the diameter of the 265/35 is smaller than the 255/40 (albeit just by a little bit) I don't want anymore "wheel gap". My area's roads are just okay but I do take trips down to NY (Queens, Long Island) and, NJ every so often, where roads aren't the best. Also longer trips to DC or Toronto. All this considered, am I fine with 275/35 or would I be better off with the 265/35? TIA!

I got 265/35 601's on 9.5+45 on spoon springs zero rubs. I wish I would have gone 275/35, it looks like it should clear.
