Anyone here run 9.5 width on their fronts? I'm trying to go square so I can rotate my wheels and was wondering if there are any issues that arise when running a 9.5 in the front. Will be using Tein coilovers, not planning on making it low as hell. Thanks! |

Depends on offset if you will have issues. You might rub depending on how low you are, your offset, and tire size. __________________ AVO Stage 2 Turbo Build Thread |

It scrubbed on full lock when i first installed them but the car had toe out after fitting coil overs. after the wheel alignment no issues what so ever. |

Rotation is a good idea, I notice fronts wear out a bit quicker than rears. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |

Sounds good, and in terms of being low the car isn't going to be crazy low, I'm going for functionality over looks so the wheels gotta clear. Thanks for the response! |

That's good to know, I was planning on doing at least 265 all around. I care more about tire size than lowness so as long as I get it to fit without any rubbing I'll be happy, thanks for the response! |

No issues fitting, however I have read on the meaty tire thread that 265 does rub in the rear. On 255 35 R18, no issues with rubbing for the most power EXCEPT when I make a right turn into a driveway, the compression causes it to rub on the Driver Side Rear Bumper corner. My alignment specs are -1.0 Camber 0 Toe Front, -1.1 Camber Rear 0.08 Toe-In Rear. I have SPC LCAs to align the rear. Running -1.0 camber or close in the front causes the tire to stick out a lot, I'd recommend around 1.4~1.5.
