I;ve asked this question numerous time and never seem to get an answer. I currently just bought 315-30-18 tires and was looking to get 275-35-18's for the front.

1. Will the 315's fit in the rear W/OUT Rubbing?(i haven't bought the rims yet so I want to make sure before i buy anything else)

2. Will the 275's fit in the front W/OUT Rubbing?

Stock ride height or lowered? My car is lowered with eibach sportlines and my 275s rub in the front at full lock. 315's in the rear clear no problems at all

Stock height but will lower an inch or so...so 265's is the best bet for the front??

Yeah I think you should be ok with 265's in the front. I know for 17" wheels I ran a 255 up front and had no rubbing.

265/35/18 is the best for the front


a 315/30/18 is gonna look short on the back. a 305/35/18 would fill it out better

I got a great deal on the tires which is why i went with 315-30's...but what exactly do you mean it's going to look to short in the back?

I have 275s on the front and a good 2+" drop. No rubbing so far. I also have 295/35s in the rear but they are Michelins and are as wide as my friends 315 Sumitomos and I have no rubbing back there eaither

the 315's will be about 25"tall. the 305 would be 26.4" tall
