275/40/18 on front after 1.25" drop? Running Strano springs and 18" x 9.5" C6 replica wheels (OE Wheels LLC) up front with a 58mm offset. Looking to switch from a 285/35/18 tire to a 275/40/18 to get some additional ground clearance.
Anyone else lowered and running the same size tire on a similar sized wheel up front care to share their experiences with rubbing up front (if any)? Want to be 100% certain it will clear in the front because the car spends plenty of time on road courses.
Thanks!

Thanks man! I know you had good experience with this -- just wanted to see if there were any others that had the same experience. I'll reach out to Crimson Bird to see what his thoughts are.
I think they'll probably work on my car too (despite the fact that I tried a 275/40/18 Goodyear F1 on the same wheels years ago and it didn't look like it would fit when looking at it on a lift)....just hate for everything to look good and then go cut up tires at the track.
