I have H&R Super Sports. A little over a 2 in drop in the front, right at 2 in the back. I have 315's out back and 255's up front. Some people have rubbing issues with 275's in the front,some dont. Some cars are different.

I used to have problems with my 275s up front. Changed back down to 255 and all is great. IMHO, 275 is a tad big for the front.

i'm gonna be running the same exact combo w/ my sportlines. should have them on in the next week or so, just gotta order the rear tires. i'll let ya know how it goes. i had 265/35's up front and had no issue's so the 275's should be fine.

welp, i did my springs yesterday... did the front first and after starin @ my car, i liked the look it had... the back was a little bit higher, gave it a raked look... so as of right now, i decided not to put the rear springs in...

i had my camera stolen a few weeks back, so i havent purchased a new 1 yet... once i do, ill post some pics on how it looks...

and no rub with the 275
