Default 275/35/18 hasnt anyone had trouble with rubbing in front??

Just recieved my tires today and they look much wider than I had figured. Was wondering if anyone has had any problems with them rubbing. The wheels i have are 18x9.5 y2k wheels. Any help would be appreciated since i can still send the tires back before i mount them.

I'm running 275/35/18 up front and have no problems. Car is also lowered with eibach sportlines.

I did use to have TT2's with a 285 all around and had rubbing issues with the front BEFORE I dropped the car. Once I dropped it everything was fine .

I have 275/35YR18 on the front of my SS dropped 1" the wheels have a 38mm offset, and the ONLY rubbing is at full lock at the front, the tire contacts the black plastic liner in the wheel well, No noise or damage just leaves a little mark . . .

Again - not quite the same thing, but I run 285/40/18s all around and have no problems at all.
