Wheel's help
Is there any major advantages/disadvantages of putting 18's on all 4 corners? Is 275/35/18's to big for the front,will there be any rubbing?
Thanks!!!

18's all the way around are a good choice for your car. The 275's wont be a problem on it either. :)

Hummmmmmm..
I have heard that the 275/35/18 can & DO rub a little in the front...
Most guys run 265/35/18 up front.... :yesnod:

I have 285/30/18's on the front for 8,000 miles and they didnt rub at all. Maybe I missed the post about them rubbing on somebody elses car?

Re: Wheel's help (vetterdstr)
Even when turning? Thats a pretty wide tire to run up front...
I do believe you, but I have serious doubts at the same time about using anything wider than a 265/35/18....

Yep, no rubbing even while turning....
It is one of the standard CCW wheel setups that you can buy for your car. 285's in the front & 335's in the rear without tubbing. :smash: Makes the car look like it is on Steroids!! :eek:

Re: Wheel's help (vetterdstr)
Impressive to say the least!!!
Must be some kind of offset for a 10" wide rim & no rubbing!
Same with the 11.5" in the rear, and 335's WITHOUT tubbing!
Wow! :cheers: :smash:
