Default 275 tires in front

I would like to put 275x35x18 in the front. I have an 04 GT with Eibach Sportline lowing springs. I have 245x40x18 right now and 275x35x18 in rear by Continental. I don't like the stance and will put 295 in rear. Will the fronts rub when turning? Thanks, Ed.

I have stock springs and the 275s only rub when the steering wheel is at a left or right lock (all the way).

The big question in that setup will be if you are running the correct wheel backspace. If so, then no problems. What wheels are you running?

I have the American Racing Torq Thrust in the Anthracite, 18x9 in front and 18x10 in the rear. Thanks, Ed

Being built to fit a 94-04 mustang, the backspace will be correct.

Yes, the 275/35/18 will fit up front as long as you have the correct width wheel and the right backspacing/offset. I believe the 2003-2004 Cobra wheels were 17"x9" with a +24mm offset and ran a 275/40/17 tire.

Many people run a 315/30/18 or 315/35/17 in the rear, and I have hear of people stuffing a 325 or 335 width rear tire with some modifications. You should be running a minimum of a 10" wide wheel for a 295, and at least a 10.5" wide wheel if you want to go larger.
