275/35-R18's on an SN95?
I'm just curious if the Toyo Proxes 4 275's will fit (on a 9" rim) on both the front and rear of an SN95 without any rubbing? What's the difference between the Proxes 4 tires and the T1R's?

I would go T1R's as I the 4 is an all-season tire. Most, if not all, 275's are rated to fit a 9" wheel, but will very some by manufacturer.
Saleen uses 9"s up front and will fit the '94~'98 SN95, but can only find a 245/35/18" as standard tire. I believe a 275 will fit, but I cannot say for sure. I know it will fit out back, just not sure of fronts.
Just did a search and found a '98 with 275/35/18"s ***HERE***

Jazzer--
Per our previous conversations, how would you compare the Toyo tires (T1R's and 4's) to the Nitto 555's and HTR Z III's?
I ask because CruizinConcepts might be working a deal out with me for the rims..I'm not sure yet. If they can't work something out, I'm probably just going to go with the HTR Z III's from AmericanMuscle.

Ow. The T1R's would end up costing me almost $1700, vs. $1350 for the HTR Z III's.
The Nitto's would be $1450.
Somehow, I'm not thinking they're going to cut 20% off the top to get me to buy from them (for the T1R's).. ;P

Well, the T1R and rims are $1,681 after shipping, so if they're willing to knock off 20% to get me to buy from them, we're in business..otherwise, I guess I'll be getting the HTR Z III's.
