Would 275/35/19 tires on 10" wheels rub?

[RS4now]

i want to buy a set of wheels and tires for occasional track use, and summer use.
if our rims are 9" rims, then i thought i needed to go wider.
i also wanted to get more rubber on the road for track use.
i was shying away from 275/30/19 because my speedo is already 4% inaccurate, so this setup might improve the accuracy.
i will keep the stock brake calipers and suspension.

if your running the correct offset, no they will not rub. i am running that setup right now and im lowered as well no fender roll... i believe im et 30 or 31

The speedo is off, but the speed the ECU reports is actually correct. If you go to a bigger tire size, your Odometer will be inaccurate.

I currently run 265/35-19's and my speedo is now ~1 - 2% off GPS and ECU (based on RSNE diagnostic) speed (e.g., 70mph speedo = 69 mph gps/rsne). When running 275/30-19, my speedo was close to 8 - 9% off.

thank you.
you are using 10" wheels?
any downside to your 275/35/19 setup?

thanks.
you are running 275/35 but on 18 x 10" wheels? they fit over stock front brake calipers?
however, i am having trouble understanding how a larger diameter tire will increase my 3-4% inaccurate speedo. i currently show 83 on speedo while gps shows 80mph. i expected it to go the other way with 275/35/19 setup.

and you are using stock RS4 width wheels?

thanks.
and you are using stock RS4 width wheels?

I'm running 19x10 et 28 front and et 25 rear

35 sidewall will rub hands down with 19s. go 30 and you will be fine. also, willtheyfit.com will show you the difference of mph between stock and aftermarket

I think he would be fine with a 265/19 on stock suspension. Im lowered and dont rub.

265 is narrower. It's that 275 width that will catch the fender. Either lower profile or narrower you're good. Just not 275/35, that's why nobody runs them, they rub. Not a lot, just enough.

Oh 275/35 is a different story, thought everyone was discussing the 265/35 to 275/30 debate....

[baggednbangin]

I was just answering the question to the thread. But if that's the case, carry on.

ok. if 275/35/19 is a risk with 10" wheels, i now see i can go with 9.5" wheels for summer use.
tire rack has some rims that show the following:

Size: 19x9.5
Offset: 34mm
Backspacing: 6.46"
Bolt Pattern: 5-112
Rec. Tire Size: 255/35-19
Weight: 30.0lbs.
Finish: Machined w/Anthracite Accent
Construction: 1pc. Low Pressure Cast & Shot Peened

so i've just changed my OP question to - will 275/35/19 tires on the above 9.5" wheels rub?
i asked tire rack, and they won't commit to a no-rub answer. they said to ask you guys.
keep in mind - no change to stock suspension/calipers and rotors.

Willtheyfit.com has them 11.4mm/.44 inches closer to the suspension (assuming oem wheels have 29mm offset up front?). i dont know if that's in the rub zone.
is it possible to get underneath the car to see/measure if i have a half inch clearance?
it shows only 1.3mm further outside width.
also, it says i lose 7mm of arch gap.

OP, why are you so intent on getting wider wheels?

i wanted more street tire tread on the ground when i'm at the road tracks during the summer, usually only 3 times a year.
i felt the car start to slide earlier than i would have liked, but i've only been out once with it, on the oem Pirelli's.
my car has 200 lbs more weight than the sedan, so i thought i'd run a 275/35/19 setup, with upper end summer tires, and on different rims to preserve the original rims.
