Recommended tire size

[Sweet Stang]

Just wondering what everyone is running for tire sizes front and rear and whether you have clearance issues or not. I have a 95 gt coupe and will either be going with the eibach pro-kit or sportlines to lower it, not sure yet. Anyway, I was reading that the recommended tire size for 17x9's is 275/40, is that too big for the front? I want to use the deep dish wheels in the back which are 17x10.5's and didn't know which to use for the front. Either the 17x9's or the 17x8's Any help would be appreciated. Also, please post your current setup and how you like it if you don't mind. Thanks :SNSign:

I have the 17x9 up front and the 17x10.5 in the back. Fornt tires are Sumitoma HTR-Z 255/40/R17. No rubbing at all. Im getting 265, maybe 175's next. Back tires are Sumitoma HTR-Z 315/35/R17. Some people hav eto flip the quad shock for clearance, I didnt but I do have a slight rub on this one spot in my neighborhood. Its abump on a turn. But im also lowered like 2 inches.

315 biggest out back (on 10.5 wheels only)
275 biggest in the front.

I have 275's, BFGoodrich G-force Sports in front, 315's Sumitomo's in back. Stock suspension. Front rubs a little when the wheel is turned all the way, and the back rubs a bit when going hard around a corner.

Thats odd. My car is lowered, we have the same back tires, and I only rub in one certain area. Maybe its becasue my springs are stiffer?

Do you know where yours rubs? Is it on the fender or the fender lining?
