Nope, no rubbing so far and I was fully loaded for the 60 mile trip home with the factory wheels/tires and had no issue.

My tire sizes are: 255/30/21(front) and 295/25/21(rear)

Went with 21x9 25mm offset in front and 21x10.5 32 mm offset in the rear. Like the front but would have preferred the rear the standard 27 mm offset.

Just throw a 5mm spacer in, that should do it.

I'm planning to order a set of wheels with parameters 9J +25 10.5 + 38 and put tires 255/30 and 305/25 - could anybody advise will this work?
255/30 and 295/25 will work for sure, but what about rears with 305/25 as for me it will be better for 10.5 and fronts with 255/30

Old thread, but did you ever put a 305 in the rear?
