Default Anybody running 275/40 18s? Post pics.

I'm wondering about a 275/40 on an 18" wheel. I know the OD stuff. I like the look of a filled out wheelwell, and most of the cars I see with aftermarket wheels have an OD that looks too small.

I'm wondering if anybody is running this size, if they are lowered or not, clearance issues, and I would love to see pics from the side.

thats what i run in the rear, im lowered on sportlines....the clearance sucks i need to have my fenders rolled so i can have passengers in the car.
I used to have 18'' C5 wagon wheels with a 275 40 and it didnt rub, but these new wheels do

Damn that looks great. Clearance is what I was hoping to hear...I don't plan on going as low as Sportlines, and my spring will more than likely be a bit stiffer.

i'm runnign that size at stock ride height. I had to cut the bump stops off and i'm also getting some spacers. They are corvette take offs too, so the offset is all wrong. I have some rubbing but i hope that once i get the spacers on it will be fine. Oh and the tire does fill up the wheel well nice. I have c5 thin 5 spoke wheels.
