I got a set of real Brabus V's with new tires already on them. Rims are 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears with 245 with 35 offset up front and 275 with 35 offset in the rear. Im currently on eibachs so im wondering how bad they will rub and would spacers help and if so anyone know what size? Anyone else run these sizes?

how low is your rear? I have H&R's on stock pads, and 275's did NOT rub.

However if your car is really low, or you plan to go lower like I am, you should probably swap the 245's onto the rear rims and get some thinner tires for the front.

that's rite, 245 to the back and get some 225 on the front, no spacer needed. BTW is it 19"?
safe thing to do is do some fender rolling and shave the inner rear bumper.

275s will rub no matter what
265s is the threshhold it seems and thats with rolling fenders

18's or 19'2? i have 255 18's in the rear h&r springs with stock pads . the only thing i rub is on the right side inside the wheel well where the gas cover inside is but its very min ...have no issues what so ever unless you turn very hard but even that its not a big issue:)
