Hi, I’m currently running saleen Sc rims on my 91 notchback, 17x8 in front with a 255/40/17 and a 17x10 in back with a 275/45/17. I have no clearance or rubbing issues with the current setup, but I want To change the front to a 17x9 but don’t know if that will give me clearance issues. If anyone is running my desired setup, please let me know what tire size you have and whether or not you have any issues with the 17x9 up front. Thanks

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I assume you want to run a wider tire up front as well? 17"x9" in the front with 275 tires tend to rub on the sway bar, even on SN cars. The "correct" way to fix that is to put steering rack limiters in, and accept the larger turning radius. My front 275"s have been rubbing on the sway bar for 17 years now, and I just ignore it.

No I don’t, I want To run the 17x9 in front but don’t know what tire I need, I feel Like the 255 will rub, but I’m not sure. I’m trying to see what size tire people use who run a 17x9 in front.

I know 245s don't rub. Not sure about 255s.
