I was wondering if 275/40/17's will fit all 4 corners of my 95 GT without any scrubbing???

You MIGHT have rubbing in the front. My 245's would rub sometime with the wheel fully locked one way.

front might rub just a little with the wheel turned fully, but shouldnt be any big deal. personaly though, i think 275's are too wide for the front, they stick out past the fender and sling any mud/dirt down the side of your car, i run 245's up front and 275's in the back

Do 255's or 265's at most. IMHO.

It's a toss-up. I run stock 275/40/17 '03 Cobra wheels & tires on my '95 and I rarely ever experience any scrubbing, even at full lock. Every car is a little different though.

My mom's v6 02 has 27/40/17's all the way around the front rubs some times in parking lots under tight turning.

I've had 265/40/18's (close) on the front of before with no problems at all. It just depends.

I'm running 255/40/17s in the front with a 2.1" drop
and 275/40/17s in the rear with a 1.6" drop


I've never rubbed.

I'm running 275/40R17's on 17x9 Steeda Ultralite II's. They rub a tiny bit a full lock but, I think I'll just put these in:

Personally, I don't think they look too wide in the front
