hey can you tell me how much space there is on the side of the tire to the strut?

Sorry I don't have any other pictures than the ones I already posted. Is there an easy way to measure this?

could you slip your hand on the inner side of the tire moving up and down and inform me how much gap there is or isn't?

i'm planning to go 255 35 19 in front

thanks

Wish I saw this before throwing on Michelin PS A/S 245/40/19s on my factory square 8inch wheel setup. 2020 rwd m340 here and the lower spring perch is pretty much resting on the tire. Just wanted to add this as another data point.

Might get some spacers to clear the strut.

255/35/R19 goes easily.

Front: 19x9" ET28 with 255/35-19
Rear: 19x10" ET38 with 275/35-19

Is this on the 19x8 squared setup?

Ignore me, sorry

does the wheel width (8.5 vs 9) and offset affect the rubbing or the rubbing is due to type size in general?

Any updates on this? Would love to understand if 245's fit up front without headaches

I just installed a 245/35/20 on a 20x9 wheel and having the same problem. Only on drivers side. Looking for a solution.
