who all is running 275/40-17-s on the front of their lowered sn's? I'm currently debating on either a set of 255/50-17's or a set of 275/50-17's for the front of mine. I'm just not sure if i would have problems running the 275's with H&R supersports(no isos). Help me out guys/girls!:)

are you wanting to run 275/40r17's or 275/50r17's? you listed both and its got me confused lol theyre going to be the same width but the 50 is going to be a much taller tire than the 40, so itll have more of a chance to rub...ive ran 275/40r17's and all my previous cars and never rubbed, i cant run something that big tho on my current setup now tho because i have my coilover set so low.....but if your not running anything lower than an unmodified eibach sportline in the front then you WILL be fine

You'll probably have trouble cause those are incorrect tire sizes for our cars, try looking at 255/45 or 275/40-17

I meant 255/40-17 and 275/40. Sorry about that. I think the supersports without isos maybe a tad lower than the eibachs.

I'm running 275/40/17's on 17x9 SSR rims. With my alignment and suspension set-up(Steeda Sport's, C/C plates) I get slight rubbing on the fender liners at full lock.

I run sportlines w/ 275's up front. I get a little rubbing at full lock, but its basically unnoticed unless you see the marks in the fenders. I wouldn't run anything smaller than that..GL

I ran a 275/40/17 on 17x9 03 machined cobra's and only at full lock i got very slight rubbing.. I had jamex Sport springs which are identical to a Eibach Sportline spring oh and i was also running blown shocks so it sat a little lower also.

245/ 255 max only. I had 275's up front before and they stuck past the fender just a wee bit too much for my taste. Way to wide for the front.
