275/40/17 tire
 

before I buy a 275/40/17 tires for my front wheels, 17x9.5. Just wanted to be sure nobody had any issues with the same size tire rubbing while making turns or etc.

i have 275/35/18n on front. you will be fine. mine is lowered as well. width wasnt the issue height was though. word of warning though. that wide of tires on the front seem to grab really hard. handle great but uneven roads or bumps get a little annoying.

i have 275 40 17s all the way around no problems but like imcdowel said every bump or pothole it get sucked into just got to avoid them

you'll be fine but be sure to buy a tire to match your application. If you want to get more than 5-10k miles don't get "performance" tires. You don't want softer material and if you live in a hot climate, you absolutely don't want softer material.

cool, thanks guys.....

Yeah, they won't rub but they will grab every crack, crevace, and rut that they can find! Just be ready to keep both hands on the wheel if you get on a road thats broken down, or is run by 18 wheelers constantly(ruts)!

yeah,

but you have to admit, the car looks awesome with 11 inch wide tires all around

I used to have 275s all the way around, and personally didn't like the way it drove or looked. 245s on the front and 275s on the back drives so much better and I think looks alot better! Thats just my opinion though. 275s all the way around would probably be good for autocross though! But that would probably be the only time I would run that setup again.

im 245 front 275 rear and love it.... last year i was 275 front 295 rear, TOO MCUH RUBBER UP FRONT,,, grabbed everything and drove like crap, but i live in Michigan lol

Yeah same here! When I got mine the guy already had 275s all the way around on it and it drove like **** going down the road. It was good in the turns(all longs as there wasn't any ruts or cracks in the turns) but I had to constantly keep both hands on the wheels and I couldn't relax so I got that **** changed ASAP! Now I've got 245/40/17s up front and 275/40/17s on the back!
