Just had some 255/35/18 pilot sport 4's fitted to the rear.

They are CLOSE!

Anyone else running wider rear tyres issue free?

I've tried being harsh over speed bumps and not had any signs or sounds of scraping so I'm hoping I'll be ok.

Is that shock at the clearance or embarrassing filth.

Arch roll on the horizon ?

Looks good Dan, time will tell if you get any rubbing I suppose, hopefully not. Did you just stick with oem sizes up front? I'm yet to change my tyre sizes, will wait until the worst of the weather has passed.

Yeh still oem tyres as they're only half worn. Ideally I wanna up to 235/40 ps4 maybe.

Lowered on H&R's with 255/30/19 PSS on the rear, no issues at all.

Sits really well. The girlfriend has a set on her F31 but they've been introduced to the kerb too many times for my liking. Might test for one on mine at some point, see how it looks

Any issues fitting 255 tyres on oem alloys on standard height car?

Many JDM guys in the US and Jpn run 255 and 265 on 8" rims for a track set up so they have wider contact patch.

They will fit and you will have more sidewall "bulge". The reason 245 is quoted as max. for 8" is the bulging sidewall effectively reduces sidewall stiffness and stability. Can make higher speed cornering a bit interesting.........

The track day warriors get round this by running higher pressures. Ride is impaired but this is less of an issue on the track but a literal PITA for a daily driver.

Seems silly then

Sure does especially on a daily commute.
