Can I run 255's up front comfortably? beacause I just got three brand new 255/35/18's for next to nothing price wise! So guys, you think it will rub when turning?
I have 255-40-18's up front my car on a 9" wheel; I'd never run a 35 on the front of my car, due to the profile of the tire....once bad pothole and the rim & tire are done.
I've been running 255/35 X 18 front tires for a few years with no problems at all, never rubs or touches anything under any driving condition...but as stated above, this depends on your wheel offset and size.
I run 275/40/17s up front with slightly modified fenders (stock with some heat and tlc) and no rubbing. Those are yoko avs's though, which i know to be a touch thinner than other tires. I ordered new eagle f1's and i'm taking them in 265 this time.
My car is stock ride height, with a 18x5.8 +35mm and I run a 255-35 no problem. Lowering may become a small issue, nothing a little bent tab won't fix.
Hmm 285/30/18 seems like such a desirable size, given the reported increase in response from 18s. I am surprised to see no rubbing issues with those. What offsets are you running?
