Hey, is it possible for me to run 235/35/19s all round on an S60 or are the fronts liable to rub at all ? Just seen 4 Brand new Pilots on Ebay i might bid on. Cheers!

They would maybe only foul the inner guards, take out them out if necessary,

I know they are different models but i ran 235/40/18's on my S70 and oonly fouled very slightly on full left lock,
Losing a profile and going up a inch in wheel equates to the same,
You should be ok with it unless you have a sports suspension on your car.

PS If they do rub fit 225/35's

I have HR Springs -30mm drop i think, bit late to buy 225s if i shell out for four 235s though.

Its all down to what offset wheel you will be running. If you get it right you should be OK. HEICO run 8x19 wheels with 235/35 tyres with lowered suspension with no rubbing. I think the offset is 38mm

S60's with the standard 18's run 235/40/18's and they only rub on full lock so i carn't see them been a problem

Would 265/35.19s fit on the rear of an S60 ok i wonder, in fact how wide rears can you go on an 8in rim ?

I think 255s are the widest that'll fit on a 8" rim but it depends on the tyre and the profile.

If you really want 265s on the back you need to be looking at a 9" rim but it does beg the question of why do you want wider tyres on the the rear of a front wheel drive car? :drunk: It may look cool but handling on the limit (ie just before you have a big accident!) will be adversly affected. :B_steerin

fair point! :slap: However, probably not worth the hassle factor
