Slight Rub at full lock...

I have some slight lock at full rub. It's not much but it's noticeable.

I asked around and it seems I'm rubbing on the plastic liner in the wheel well?

Does that mean it's "ok" ?

I haven't really driven on them so I'm not sure (well, i drove out of the tire shop's parking lot, made a left turn, drove straight for 1 block, came back to work and parked)

But I notice it only on full lock turns

Should I just...ummm..avoid full lock turns?

The person I bought these from said they used them on the track once without any issue(s) whatsoever

If I have some rub on full lock that won't hard anything, i can deal with it by not doing full lock turns

I just don't want an issue driving around down and especially no issue at the track

the Specs are:
TE37SLs
19x9.5 et22 265/35/19
19x10.5 et22 285/35/19
Tires are Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R-compounds

My car is on 100% stock suspension. 2011 E93 M3.

Here a couple pics I snapped:




Here is the rear pics, but I don't feel any rubbing:




Thank you

you should be fine unless it's really rubbing..

wow those are super meaty. lol

Damn, those sidewalls are....

You'll be fine.

Wow... those look like they'll let you pull 2g's around turns.

O_O those are fatty ass sidewalls. You should be fine with the slight rubbing on full lock. If anything it'll eventually go away after repeated rubbing

I'll be going to 626 tonight. come check them out roy

I would bet the back will rub if you hit large bumps. I was under the impression we needed to run 265/30 fronts? Anyway, I'm betting it won't be too much of an issue. The tires look REALLY meaty... do they look OK in person or do they look too bulky?

I'm actually in NYC till Tuesday :\

Looks like you bought the TE37SL with the Trofeos. They're a DOT approved R compound, and run very wide... plus the 265/35r19 is a bit too tall for the front and I am not surprised they rub. They may rub worse on the track when you are at some extreme angles, watch out!

265/35-19 will rub in front on most M3s. I tried it before deciding on 275/35-18 all around for track use. All you can do is give it a try, but I would be skeptical of track use.

It for sure rubs

I'm going to take the tires off and replace with AD08s

I am debating between running 255/30/19 front or 265/30/19 front

I think I'll do the 255 as I really do not want to have any rubbing. I already damaged my fender liner after I hit a pot hole on the freeway (normal driving is fine, but it's those ups and downs and damn pot holes..)

And for the rear, I'm debating between 275 30 19 and 285 30 19

I'll prly do the 275 30 19 just to be on the safe side

Advan AD08s btw

Couple of the guys at the meet said if i ran neg camber, it would prly work out, I'm just going to change the tires.

I think 255/30 and 275/30 are two small. I would run 255/35 and 275/35.

265/35R19 and 275/35R19 would work.
If you are going to lower it, then 265/30R19 and 295/30R19 would also work.

I may lower it in the future, not sure
I think 265 is too aggressive for me though

I think I will do 255/35/19 F 275/35/19 Rear

What do you guys think?

A friend of mine has the 255/35 275/35 combo with PSS and they're great...

But I think they may be too small for these rims (9.5 10.5) so I should do 265/30 and 285/30, but there rear isn't available for the AD08s, so I will have to do 295/30/19... I'm scared the rear may be too much?

TireRack has them in stock (265/30 295/30) and I can have them in 3 business days... but I don't want to order if they won't work..

Thanks

I would like to know whether the 255/35 fronts would rub too. Lots of people run 255/35 fronts in other tire brands but the AD-08 run so wide, it concerns me. Everyone says they run like 10mm wider. If anyone can confirm that the 255/35 work in the front that would be great. I'm certain the 275/35 rears are fine.

i have TE37SL wheels in 18" and i am running 255/40 and 275/35 on them. no issues whatsoever. 255 and 275 are not too narrow for these wheels and they do NOT look stretched (maybe very slightly).

on my style 220 M 19" rims, i am running 255/35/19 advan ad08. no rubbing whatsoever. however, they DO run wider than usual so if you have very aggressive front offsets, gotta be careful!

Martin said he ran 265/30/19 AD08s on his TE37SLs but had rubbing on the fender liner. it was fine but the thing is I don't want any rubbing at all

Maybe I should just get PSS and not worry about a tire running too wide..

It's not the diff problem?

What diff problem?

Proper size for street tires would be:
255/35-19 with 275/35-19 OR
265/30-19 with 295/30-19

i have the same size and offset on the front and im running 255 / 35 / 19 and i rub also on full lock...

but your tires are so meaty compare to mine... LOL although im running the v12...

Dang bro, love the TESL.... specially with that tire set up..
