Default 18inch rim tires.

just a quick question. ive seen a number of people say that the recomended tire size for 18s (275/35) rubs against the inside of the wheel well when making tight turns. whats the best tire size to go with that wont run into this problem? or is it not a big deal?

It's normally not a big deal. You can purchase steering rack limiters, GT and Cobra already have them. They are little plastic clips that attach to the inner tie rods near the rack to slightly limit the amount that the wheels will turn, reducing the chance of the tire rubbing on the sway bar, inner fender liner, or the K-member. The only way to garuntee not to rub is to rub stock size tires.
