Hello all,

Recently spent a lot of time measuring and researching wheel/tire size combos and ended up going with a set of 18x9.5 in the rear and 18x8 in the front. Rear tires are 275/45r18 and fronts are 235/50. This puts the rear wheel diameter at 27.7 inches and the front at like 27.2. My old wheels were 15x8 and 14x7 rallye and I liked the more aggressive drag type stance. I'm thinking of going for 275/60 in the rear now to accomplish a similar look without resting my front suspension on the bump stops. This would put the rears at 31inch diameter and I'm wondering if anyone has made something similar fit with stock leave springs/location. Appreciate any advice

Do your front wheels rub the fenders in reverse? I’m running 17x9 rear and 17x8 front.

I don't think you'll have an issue with the height.
But that size tire is normally a truck tire. Might be a harsh / noisy ride?

Appreciate it! Yeah, I'll have to see what I can track down to try to avoid that
