Seeking tire/wheel/stance experts

I’m in Colorado and run 255f/265r/35-19 dws06 continental tires on stock standard wheels .they are wide enough that I get a lil pot hole protection. Seems to get less under steer on hard turn in. Really hard to get the tires to break loose .(I put the effort in )

You are the first owner I've read who said that he uses the OEM wheels and puts 255 wide on the front. Is that the OEM sized 255/35? How is that possible? 255 isn't supposed to be able to fit in front, they will rub. Are you using spacers?

I’ve had them on for 2 months no rubbing at all. Stock Staggered wheels

Well, I feel a little bit gobsmacked. Why are others saying 255 is too wide for the front? And what about sidewall bulge? Your rims are kind of narrow for that wide of tires.

Wanted to do 285 in the rear but Discount wouldn’t do it as they said the wheels was to narrow..I showed them 17 photos of cars on stock wheels with 285s but they said they had to go with what the computer said due to reliability issues

You wanted 285s on 8.5 wide rims??
