Blair Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I think the rears will be close but you'll just get away with it on standard tyres, you may need a very slight roll on the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 As Blair says you'll probably need a slight arch roll on the rear but that's easy enough. They should fit nicely. What wheels are they? My rears are 9J et26 but I run a 225 tyre. I could probably get a 235 on there. Yours will sit 9mm further in so should be ok. Worst case you'll need an arch roll and a slightly slimmer tyre, but they will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I had the exact combo on my bbs Lm's I've just sold 9j 18" et 35 I can tell you now there's no way as long as I've got a hole in my arse you'll get a 255 on the rear & it be drivable. I had 225 40's stretched on them & they still rubbed slightly with rear passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Do you have the arches rolled Jamie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 No mate but even so with a 255 they'd still rub like buggery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shabaza Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I have 265 on a 9.5j with arch roll on et27 and only get minor rubbing. So I would of thought et35 would be very little rubbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz 330 Cs Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Chris put 9J ET35 CH reps on his stock Clubsport and they scuffed straight away on 255s. 245s fitted and all was good, arch roll not necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 i think there is more room with vert rear arches. Ash managed to run 265's on his at ET45 with no arch roll or rubbing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
