hey thanks,did you have to roll the fender or anything? what size are your rims 17x8 or 9?
Nope, didnt have to roll anything, and yes their 17x9 all around with 275/40/17 all around, only time it rubs is on big bumps of course but what car dosent, even with people in the back seat I dont worry about it.

mob said:Id have to look up the backspacing on the wheels on the recipt but their just the normal AFS 17x9 cobra replicas. Everything else is stock, stock springs. My rack and pinion was replaced like 2 years ago but I doubt that would change anything. I actually have alot of room up there. What wont it clear on your car? Like the fender? or the suspension stuff. I really have absolutly no problems with the 17x9 and 275's, and ive swaped my front and back wheels, no problems.

I think the major difference between your setup and mine is that I am lowered with BBK springs.
In the back the 275's barely clear the outer fender well, and that is with some major hammer work. There is plenty of room on the inboard side, so I am planning on shortening the axles or something. I am using a panhard rod, which helps keep the rear positioned in relation to the body. Less side to side movement means less chance of rubbing on the outer fender well.
In the front my 255's rub on the outer fender lip when I hit a bump in a turn. Now that the fender lip has been rolled completely, there isn't much tire damage.
Also, the wheels rub on the lower control arm at full lock. This happens on the forward edge of the control arm. This is not a major issue, as it only happens during tight parking lot turns.
I have seen some rub marks on the forward edge of the inner fender skirting as well. This is just enough contact to clean the dirt of the skirt though.
From the pics I would say that not lowering the car will be the deciding factor in how much tire one can run.
Thanks for the info
