Hi, Read a few threads about owners using 235/35/19 (F) and 295/35/19 (R) MPSS tyres on their 430 and CS's. However I've also read that - 235 can rub on arches and 295 go beyond the limits of a 10" wheel. Would like to hear about owners experiences running these sizes please? Thanks
Curious about the 295 issue as well. As for the 235, many of us have had our fenders "rolled" which take the lip and turns it out and up. This results in more clearance. This is an example of the tool - most good exotics body shops will have one. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Rob, Armando- For the rim width question, just look it up in the specs section in TireRack's tables on the MPSS. 295/35 19 MPSS recommended rim width is 10-11.5", so no sweat on OEM 10" wide wheels. On the fronts, trial and error.
A lot depends on the particular car and the exact contours of the tire. On my car, I had to roll the fenders in front to clear RE-11s in stock sizes and with stock starfish wheels. The RE-11 is very square shouldered. Others claim not to have had this problem, though it's common to see 360s with fender lip damage at the 12 o'clock position (look carefully and often you will see some bowing at that point).
Also depends a lot on ride height settings and camber. Most cars from the factory are way out from spec and years of driving will change things too.
