Default H&R springs and 275's

before I order the rims and tires i want to make sure that 275's will fit up front with h&r sport springs i know that 275's fit up front, but i'm sure if they fit without rubbing with h&r's. BTW i'm getting 17" chrome 03 cobra rims

You will definitely have problems! You should only go with a 255 in front. Everyone thinks you need a wide tire in front:foot: They are wrong! Stagger them the less tire you have to push the better steering and handling will improve drastically alone with the overall feel. I have 255/35/20 up front and 295/30/20 in back with 20x8.5 up front and 20x 10.5 in back. Also the stock 17x9 rim with the 275/40/17 has too much sidewall, and i hope you arent getting the stock goodyear cobra tires they suck!

I have a question, I'll just throw it in here.

If I got H&R Super sports (drop of 2"), how worried should I be of a 295/35/18 MAYBE a 315/30/18 rubbing???? What can I do to help?

the trick to getting proper drop is to measure the sidewall height of your tire compared to the amount of clearence left sfter you drop the car. The other thing is to look on the inside of your fender well and see if it is flat or rolled. And finally the offset of the wheel , will it be in spec or out of spec. hope this helps but with that musch drop i definitely see a problem unless you do these first. And if all else fails put a small brick or something like a speed bump under your front tire and when the spring is compressed turn the wheel this definitely will tell. Hope i helped any other issue feel free to email me
