What is the offset on the wheel? I would normally say 255/40R17.
Let me know if I can help.

You better pull the fenders out. With the 17X9.5 wheel and 35mm offset you are going to have rubbing no matter what size tire you run.

Personally, I would still run a 255 though to ensure clearance.

265s are do-able, but I just think they'll sit too square.

I cant find 255's for a RE01R, so would a 265 work? I have the ASM overfenders front&rear...

Sit too square, what do you mean?

Wouldn't 275/30ZR19 be the optimum choice???

Tire gurus please chime in
