Yes it is rubbing in that pic. If I come over the Corkscrew fast enough, on what I think is the proper line, it will rub. Maybe my son's extra 155 lbs adds to the issue..........oh,no,.....wait my 200 lbs is probably a bigger issue!

Did you have your shock absorber button set to stiff? That seems to help out a lot with front to rear pitching.

Default oh oh

ok so I mounted my new 19" RG5's today with 265's up front and 305's on the rear ... I ended up taking the fronts off again as I am pretty uncertain that they will clear the fenders under compression ...

Larry,

I would not be too worried on the fender side. My 265 MPSC were totally away from the fender even under compression. Never any rubbing. The only place it was tight was between the spring and the wheel. Camber -2 car not lowered.

Larry,

What is the front rim offset?
Is it a 8.5" or 9" rim?
What camber are you running?

Stephan - He's running 19" 265's, so probably a bit bigger overall diameter than the 18"s

TireRack shows the 265/30 x 19 to be 25.3" in diameter, vs. 25.5" for the stock spec 235/35 x 19. Shouldn't be a problem with diameter, unless its simply too wide.

it's a 9"x19" ... champion dont stamp the offset on their wheels, and I lamely lost the e-mail with the info in it ...

I dont think the dia is significantly different between the 18 and the 19, it's mostly the addition 1.25" in width that has me "worried" ...

I was just referring to Stephan's fitment. He runs 18" so diameter is 24.3 (an inch less) and he has no issues. So can't compare his fitment to Larry's 19"

hey Ryan ... the Techquipment bar ROCKS! ... thanks again for your help with the install; you have the distinction of telling a dealer tech how to do his job!


Quick Reply: MPSC 265 front, 315 Rear, great fit.
