I want to get new wheels and tires but I wanted to know how wide I could go without hitting my tires on something when I turn the wheel all the way to one side? I wanted to get either 245/40ZR18's or 255/40ZR18's with 18x9 black deep dish bullitt wheels.

I also run 275s up front (only on a 17 inch rim) with no rubbing. Although my tires stick out past the fender just a little bit so I'll probably get some 255s or 265s for up front (just so they don't stick out).

On the 18's i see the set of 265/35/18 on the front and 285/35/18 on the rear a lot.

On my old tribars i could run 275 on all 4 corners and just barely rub on a full hard lock turn.

You could probably get away with 255/40's on the 9" wheel, what size are you running in the rear?
