[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16415720, member: 124025"] I couldn't tell you if they run smaller or not. I think that claim is baseless and a generalization. Compare the specs. Just realize cross section widths are measured on a specific rim size. Differences in that measurement between tires can be attributable to wheel widths used in that measurement. Specs will indicate what rim width the measurement was made. 5mm less offset will put your tire closer to the fender. Whether the tire construction is such that it clears or rubs is anyone's guess. Your less likely to rub with a 30 aspect ratio than a 35, however. Removing the rear springs and jacking up the axle to the bump stops will give you an idea on clearance, just realize the bump stops will compress a bit further on a hard hit. The bump stop bracket has no contact when the car is at ride height, but lift the car and let the axle drop down and the bump stop bracket will intrude against the sidewall and some even making contact with the wheel. Granted that axle motion may be difficult to achieve on the street, but it can happen. [/QUOTE]
