Default Wheel/tire Fitment problems!!!

So I ordered some zO6 rims for my car, because i previously had 17's on it. I decided to go with the setup everyone has on here. 18X9.5" w/ (285/35/18)'s upfront and 18X10.5 w/(295/35/18)'s in back. So I get the tires mountedand balenced today and they goto put them on and the tires are rubbing the control arms basically. Both in the front and the back I am expierencing this. More in the fron then in the back, but still happening. Anyone have this issue or know why this is happenening. Thanks

get some aftermarket lower control arms, theyll give you more tire clearance. youll also want an adjustable lower panhard rod, that will help to adjust the tires aliltte by pushing them to one side or out alittle.

You shouldn't have ANY issues up front at all. As for the back, as SoCal said, get rid of the stock LCAs. You *may* have to do some fender well modification, too, but doesn't sound that way.

What is the offset for the wheels? I saw another thread where the guy said his 285's were rubbing up front. My 275's are really close at full lock and they are +50mm offset.
