    No wonder you think 275s rub....those would!

    You could go short and narrow like Vinnie's 265/35's at 25.3 tall and 10.7 wide (section width) with a 285/35 and 25.9 and 11.4 wide....or squeeze a little more out of the "look" with a 295 at 26.1 and 12.

      I guess yeah. I like the idea of vinnies setup with 285s in the back and smaller with a lower ratio in the front.

        yes like Brent says below.. those are taller then stock sized tires. which is exactly why they rub.

        if you want to stick with a 275 up front go with a 275/35/18 on 18 inch rims for the front and 295/35/18 out back like brent had. that will give you a little extra height

        you have to understand the whole tire size equation.. we will give an example here.

        275/35/18

        275 = the width of the tire
        35 = the % of width for the height of the sidewall
        18 = the rim height

          An agreement once in awhile is worth putting it on a calender....but TWICE in ONE POST!?!?!?!? May have to make July 5th a damn holiday

          ......you MUST be hungover!!

              Nice find. Go with the dark color. You'll want to drop the car with 18s. I had k sport coil overs on my old 4th gen and it was sweet.
