silver being that u have 18s wit 275 in the front and bigger in the back, do your tires ever rub?

Your front tires will probably rub when you're at full turning radius, which only happens when you're parking, and only sometimes at that. When I turn my front tires rub on my sway bar and the wheel well. You can prevent rubbing be getting some kind of spacers (which I forgot the technical name of) that basically prevent you from turning all the way, thus preventing rubbing. They're like 10 bucks.

btw, good choice of wheels, now you just need to get some springs

I got 265-35-18s on my car all the way around. I didnt do the wider wheels out back. I wanted to still be able to rotate my tires cause its my daily driver. But with 265... no.... my wheels dont rub a bit.

mine never rub. The only way it can rub a little is if you make a really hardcore turn which in normal driving conditions don't happen

Personally, I would probably go with 265/35/18 in the front and 295/35/18 in the back.

If I'm not mistaken I think you could go with a 255/35/18 on the 18/9". I had 275's on the front of my Mustang and I absolutely hated them, they pulled alot from sided to side with the grooves in the road and overall just didn't like them at all.

The 295's will will out your rear wheels nicely with no bulge and no inward flex.

My car with the 275's mounted on 17/9's. I had Kumho Ecsta Supra tires which run a little wide, so you can imagine what 295's on the back would look like. (Yes the rear bumper was warped, please don't remind me.)

Only time when 275's will rub is when you turn your all ALL the way, I'll hear mine rub every now and then while pulling into a parking spot. Besides that, never happens.

LMAO! I hope Gotti is joking. I have a feeling he's not though.

I have a hard time thinking anyone would seriously spend $140 for a pair of ugly shoes made for 32cents in china from cheap materials by child labor.

but...it happens. shame.
