If I could see them I would tell you it looks great but the picture is too dark where you tires are. I do know what they look like on those rims and on a T/A. So yes it looks great! :)

1.Easy, bolt them on. Mine rub the front of the plastic inner fender ever so slightly {basically they just keep the dirt buffed off in that spot}. They also rub my brake ducting at full lock, if you don't have brake ducts, no problems.

2.Same reason that you put the 315s on the rear, more traction. AND,,, you can rotate the tires!! :jest:

3.No noticable bump steer but it does follow ruts a bit more buy hey, 275s follow ruts more than 255s right?. Fairy easy to live with, just keep your hands on the wheel. :)

Here are a couple of pics-

Well i put adjustable lca's, panhard bar, and torque arm, better sway bars and lca relocating blocks on the car before I ever bought the rims as far as problems with 367 mi. on the rims ........one quarter sized spot on the driver wheel well that would rub if i got on it around a corner. Other than that nada. :) :) :) By the way I got less wheel hop than before but i believe that that is largely due to the suspension mods. Thanks for your input though i respect that these might not be the best choice but for me they are good. If they break the rear end it just gives me a reason to go 12 bolt :) it's easier to sell the wife on it if i REALLY need it :devil:

Performance Wheel Outlet's 280 Motorsports. They are basically Cobra R knock-offs with some scallops/divits along the rim edge. They used to be cheap, not too cheap any more.
