305s in front
Anyone run this width on the front with any problems?
Have a chance to pick up scrubs in 305/18/35.
Probably will use them at all four corners.
TIA
Tim

Go for it! Lots of folks run this setup. I personally like having the same width tires all the way around because it takes out some of the built-in push/understeer these cars come with.
Enjoy!

Scraped fenders slightly with front 305/30/18 in autox events. Actually wore inside edge (surrounding tire) of fender opening down a little. My car is lowered. Was running wide CCW classic wheels at the time with 335/30/18's on rear. Think they were 11 inch fronts and 12 inch rears.

Simlar set up but on 11.5 Mallet front and rear. Car is lowered...they will scrap abit but not enough to hurt the performance

I run 305/30/18 on the front of mine, most tracks no rubbing. I did get some slight inside edge of the fender rub at Grattan which the car almost gets air born on... lowered slightly, but not all the way on stock bolts.

You can cord the tire fast if it rubs and cut into the fenders put some bule painters tape underneath to see fast if it rubs.
