Re: For those who run 18s on all corners. 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear.. a 275/35 front and 285/35 rear tire.. with this combo you might (on a lowered car) have to modify (sledge) the inside of your fenderwell and re-undercoat it.. not a difficult project.. i thing Andy (Xtaz) is running 295's on back with no issues but he might have a spacer (plus its not very low).. Andy.. you out there???
Run 18x9.5 all around with 275 tires and you will have zero issues.. you wont even have to reprogram to keep the speedo accurate..

Re: For those who run 18s on all corners. Word. I'm a fan of being able to smoke the rears and stick them on the front.
Not yet sure if I'm going to take the plunge on something that doesn't contribute to going faster.

Re: For those who run 18s on all corners. I'm running chrome Z06 reproductions.
18" x 9.5" w/ 275/35ZR18 up front, with no problems with rubbing. The front has been lowered just over 1".
Out in back I'm running 18" x 10.5" w/ 295/35ZR18, there were some minor issues with rubbing on the inside wheel well, the undercoated part. Nothing a 5 lb. sledge couldnt fix and then respray with under coat. The car has been now lowered abot 3/4" noticed a little rubbing again, but really haven't been able to drive the car. Lovely IL weather <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> I have been testing a 5/16" spacer too, more for that "just right" appearance. 5/16" spacer is really pushing the stock lug studs.
Hope the info helps.
