Are 275's up front too big?

[Pietrasz4]

I just ordered my wheels/tires and got the 18x9 for up front. I got the 275/35-18 Nittos for the front...are these too wide or should I change my order to a 265/35-18 before they process it?

same here, no issues.

Do they stick out past the fenders at all or line up flush?

 

[02nightmaregt]

They look pretty flush. I mean they are sticking out like a mexicans car

I also had no problems.....little rub on full lock but that was it.

They're not flush, but they're also not "too wide". The steering feels heavier and sloppier than the Mustang's already poor steering, though.

I had some rub issues with 275's (lowered with a pro kit) with the wheel turned fullly either way as well. Swapped to 245's up front and it doesn't rub anymore. 275's looked way better though.

They are fine, the steering will feel a little heavier in a good way.
And you will have some rim protection and better looks. The Nittos will
probably look like 265's since they run narrow.

275s are perfect up front IMO.
