Does anyone know if its possible to run 255 35 18 tyres on the rear of a T350? I have a set of sagaris 2 alloys and the standard size tyres look too narrow.Also the car is nearly ready for painting and I have been getting all the door and bonnet gaps right,but the tailgate gap is proving impossible to get right due to the edge of the glass being all over the place.Has anyone tried dressing the lumps and bumps off? I would guess its not possible to do it due to the glass being toughened,but as it is its pi55ing me off.

Just put a set of Toyo T1R's on the rear of my T350 and they are 255/35/18.

Put about 300-400 miles on them with no issues at all! Fast road driving.

Have racing red coil-overs, which i believe are slightly stiffer than original items.

The wider tyres might rub, depends on your bodyshell wheel wells/arches , shocks/springs and geo..
Both sides rub on mine under full bump with stock size tyres wheels. My shocks/springs are orginal and could be tired as it rides low at the rear. A mate has 255/35x18 on SP12s and his doesnt rub but he does have nitrons as well so springs are a lot stiffer than stockers.
