I've got an 1989 lx, and want to know if I can fit 275/40/17's on the back and 245/40/17's on the front with 17x9's all the way around. The thing is that the car is lowered 2 inches, I want to know if it's gonna rub real bad, or just a little on tight cornering, any ideas? Thanks...

if u put 245/40 on the front u might get a little rub at full look and when u hit a good size bump. as for the 275's u'll prolly have to lose the quad shock and massage the wheel wells.

if u go with the 245/40 and 275/40 the front will be lower profile then the back.

The wheels will rub on the front on lock to lock turning. I have 17x9s on the front of my car, with 235s they rubbed and now with 255s they still rub just alittle worse than before.
