Message: <blockquote data-quote="GHS" data-source="post: 285800" data-attributes="member: 6956">Well my only gripe now is that the rear tyres don't seem to cover up the rims enough. The rear rim lips are really exposed to curbs <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> Comparison pics of the front and rear rim lips - look at the red arrows:Rear, very exposed lip <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z182/ganhs/265_Rear.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Front, still OK I guess...<img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z182/ganhs/235_Front.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I'm on Falken FK452. I read reviews that Falkens (and also Toyos), are known to have "skinnier" tyre widths compared to other brands of the same size/width. I was thinking of going for bigger rear tyres (Falkens as well) to protect the lips.Questions:1) If I change my rear tyres from 265/30 R19 to 275/30 R19, does it mean that I'm effectively reducing the wheel offset by another 10mm? 2) Will 275/30 R19 cause rubbing on the E90 rear?@DY: If I recall, you are also using Falken FK452? Do you have the same experience where the rim lips are very exposed?</blockquote>
