cobra8 said:Just ordered a set of chrome 18x9 Saleen rims from wheel replicas. How wide can I go on front and back without rubbing anything. I'm not even sure how wide I can go on the rims anyway. I know this question has probably been beaten into the groud but I couldn't find any old posts. Thanks for the help !

(17x9 w/255-40-17s and an eibach pro kit) Its not really hurting anything so i let it be. It did the same thing with my 245/45/17s i had on the same wheels too.
Far as the back goes you could probably go a little wider on the tire then 255 But to do it right you might as well just get some 10.5-11" wide rims and the tires to match.

What is the largest you can get on the back with the 10.5 or 11inch rims WITHOUT rubbing? My friend has 275's on can you get in the 300's?
The rear you can go with nice and wide tires... On my 10.5 rims i have 315/35/17's... They clear everything, just bearly but they do clear everything. And I have exactly 2' of rubber that meets the ground in the rear.Merkstang said:I have the 255's up front and Have the same problem with the Rub in a tight turn in a parking lot.

yes my car is lowered about an inch and a half... The rear doesn't seem to be an issue at all, its the fronts that seem to rub under unusual circumstances due to the lowering of the car.Merkstang said:Ill be picking up my Side exhaust tomorrow so the rear exit exhaut wont be an issue... Im not planning this mod for a while but I am interested to see what will fit. Since there is no Exhaust back there somthing NEEDS to be there to fill up all that space. Is you car lowered?? Mine has H&R's and bilstien shocks. Its pretty low how will that effect the rears? maybe a 305?
