WHat is the widest tire i can put on the front on my 02 WS6 without rubbing issues? Im wondering because I want to run all the same size tires so I can rotate them. And I really want to run 315's in the back.

i am not sure but my 275 KDW's are like a centimeter from rubbing

get spacers

From what I've read if it's lowered you won't have issues with the 315's in the front, don't know why that is but there's a few people on here that do it. Try searching it.

I have seen it once on ZR1 wheels with 315's all the way around. The guy only used 315's all the way around when he was road racing.

So what issues did you encounter putting a tired that wide in the front?

This question is for you and anybody else that has a tire larger than 275 in the front.

I have a 285/40r17 in the front and I havent had any problems

I have to run a spacer and longer studs to accommodate the spacer. That's it. Nothing else.

I'm lowered about an inch or so from stock.

The wheels are supposed to be the 50mm offset although you never can be sure what you really get with the Chinese cheapie wheels. I suspect they're not actually 50mm based on my spacer size.

The wheels have a total backspace (not including the spacer) of about 7-7/8 inches.

285 will fit
315 you have to do some things to get them to fit.

But look at the vette viper they dont' even run 315 in front do they?

Why do you want them? the price is so much cheaper for 285. its better to have good tires that are a tad smaller than bigger ones with bad compound a good 315 tire is like 300 bucks for one.
