Another Tire Size question

[Lee]

I just bought a set of 95R Cobra wheels, 17x9, for the 95 2-top. I'm considering adding 275x40 tires but I'm concerned about tire rubbing with the car lowered about an inch. I now have the stock 95 wheels, 17x8, with 255x45s that don't rub.

I've perused the past "tire size" discussions where I've seen what will fit on a wheel, and some discussions around tire rubbing, but I didn't find a clear answer of "tire size on a lowered car, and tire rubbing".

You should have no rubbing issues with 275s and an inch drop.

Hey I think I posted a pic of my car with the 275 Drags out back on my 17x8 rims...sorry I should of mentioned my car has been lowered with the eibach pro kit,oh they are the Nitto Drag radials btw.

I'm really concerned about tire rub up front while turning, or over bumps.

I have 275/40/17 on my cobra R's 17x9 wheels all round and no rub actually good clearence Oh and I have the BBK lowering springs 1inch drop

Untamed, that's what I wanted to hear. One more thing, Do the tires fit on the 17x9 rim well, or do they bulge?

 

[URDONE]

Those tires will fit the 17X9 wheel perfect. That is what I have on my fronts.
