I am running that setup now actually. You will need a 1/4" machined spacer for the fronts.

i have seen people run 315s all the way around on an autocross set up, wouldn't recommend it for driving on the streets though

A 295 on the front??? Thats crazy. Are you doing it for autocross? Or just to **** off Hondas? And what size are you running on the back? And does that not mess with steering?

I am doing it because I wanted a deep dish on all 4 corners and not just the rears.
It looks weird to me, almost like the wheels dont match. I dont have any issues
with steering at all. I am running a 315/30/18 on the rears. The stance is pretty
cool when you have fatties on all 4 corners lol. Whats also cool is you cant even tell
I have that wide of a tire on the fronts. Unless you actually look under the front end,
or look for the size.

Ya I want to deep dish look also and better handling is a plus to:p. I'm going with 335s in the back with a minitub. With the offset should sit flush with the fender well and not stick out.
