From everywhere I have asked, 275's should fit in front.

I'd check with the manufacturer's specs before putting a 285 tire on a 9" wheel - most tire manufacturers recommend at least a 9.5" wheel for that wide a tire.

I have 275s all the way around and there's been no rubbing or turning problems. See http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index....opic=36421&hl=

I have 17 stock bulletts and when it's time for tire change I also will go a 245/40/17 up front and a 255/40/17 for the rear. These cars look great IMO with wider rears to go with the fat *** she has[8D] Go for it

I have 18x9 deep dish bullit wheels with 255/40/18 and 295/35/18. The 295 fits on the 18x9 rim. Discount tire installed these wheels and they were the ones that told me they would fit without any issues. The tires are BFG G-force T/A KDW2's and the stick like crazy. No vibrations. The car handles awesome! Since I bought the wheels and tires from Discount Tire, I get a free lifetime balance and rotation with them. Since I can't rotate this setup, I only have to pay $25.00 to have them pull the tires off the wheels and remount them on the other side. So I feel it's a good deal to get the wider tires on the back and pay the $25.00 for rotating. It's worth it for the traction those 295's have. Hope this info helps!

He fixed it, it was a simple fix. Retaining brackets on the studs for the installation of the rotors from the factory needed to be removed. After that, all was good according to him. When I get mine put on this week, I will have them taken off for sure!
