Fellow Stangnet-er's i need your help !

OK, I got a set of 18x9 saleen rims (replica's) the other day. After calling about 15 places I FINALLY found some one who can mount 18's. The problem is every tire retailer I call specs me out a different size tire. Tire rack says I cant go any bigger than a 235x40/18 up front and a 265x35/18 out back. Discount tire direct told me I can go 275x35/18 all around. I wanted to go 265x35/18 in front and 285x35/18 outback. Does anyone know if this will work without any rubbing issues ?

Try doing a search using the words "tire rubbing". Comes back w/a lot of results, er threads that can answer your question. Man that's a big tire out back there....

I was told not to go any bigger than 275s period on my 18x9s. 235s are too small. I would put 255s on the front and 275s on the rear. Thats just me.....
