Anybody lowered w/ H&R and Bilstiens running 275/35/18s up front?

Will I have rubbing problems with this tire size?

Thanks.

Probably will rub.
My 255-35-18s up front rub when I lock the wheel left.

My car IS NOT lowered yet and 275s don't rub stock, not sure how low you can go before it does though.....

I had 275/35's on 18x9 Bullits up front on my old stang and never had any problems with rubbing. I was lowered with Steeda springs though, which aren't that extreme of a drop....

I have bullitt suspension and my 265/35/18's rub on really full lock turns, but if you are talking about outside rubbing can't help ya. i would advise my tire size tho.. looks the best and doesn't track too bad either.

I'm more concerned about inside rubbing. The H&R lowered the front about 1.75". I would like to be able to rotate the tires so I'll go same size all the way around. 275 gives the closest diameter to stock.

Well I went and did it. 275 on all corners. I'm glad I did. No rubbing at all.

I have exact setup you're asking about. H&R SS & 275/35R18 Nitto NT555s on Y2K Cobra Rs. When I turn REALLY sharp I hear something rub...and only one or two times I've had the tires rub while driving....one time was during a hard turn and I was doing about 60mph.....I hit a dip. I can't see any sign of damage to the tire at all...so I think it was just the plastic fenderwell.

I would do this same setup all over again.

I have installed my wheel/tire/spring combo few weeks ago. I have tiny bit of rubbing prob. only time it rub anything is when I'm left full lock. edge of tire is slightly touching sway bar. If you go slow turn, then It doesn't rub. Hope this helps!

My car was lowered by Saleen and came with 265/35/18 on 9" wheels for the front. It doesn't rub at all !
