WOW, that's crazy, never heard of something like that happening just from switching brands. Now you're making me wonder if I will rub with 285's and 10MM spacers on my rears that are a 45 offset, so the 10MM will put me at 35 offset so I figure going to 285's will work if 305 works with the 45 offset. What are your rear offsets again, 38??

I guess it makes sense if our setups are that tight that a slight difference in the design/size of the tire would cause a rub. Diego, you prob just need to get the fenders rolled or have the camber slightly adjusted and you'll be fine.

I'll see if I can find the info somehwere, but there is something I have seen that shows which tires run true, small, and large. I have Hankooks myself and with a 225/35 on 9.5 it has more of a stretch than a General Exclaim 225/35 on a 9.5. I was told that the Genera's are "square." Not sure what that means, guess I shoulda asked.

Found the info...don't give me credit as I did not type this up, not sure of the original source as it was posted in our team's private boards.
SMALL:
For the Hankook wh0res out there....
The Hankook's actually run a true tire size. The Falken tires run on the smaller side, that's why there is no rubbing.
Just to add personally. The H105 Hankook tires stretch REALLY well, in case anyone was curious. I put a 225/35 on a 10.5. First time it took 3 tries with 2 Cheetahs but on the 2nd wheel they got it the first time.

Falken ZE-912 is True but I believe to be more rounded than the FK-452
Sumi HTRZ II and III are True, and the HTRZ III actually stretch pretty well without compromising comfort while maintaining grip.
Bridgestone RE050A run pretty small, and are very rounded. Every Bridgestone in our experience has run very round and skinny.
Hankook depends. But most people will look into K110 and they run pretty true. Not bad at stretching on the K110 and H105s

That's what I thought...the 37's are already rolled. Maybe a pull can be done? I wouldn't do it, although it's ok, I'd rather add some negative camber and invest in toe bolts if needed (cheaper are doesn't risk paint chipping).
