Default Big meats

I was wondering if I could put some 275/40's on 9 inch rims in all four corners without rubbing to much. By the way my car has been lowered an inch and half

With your ride being lowered an inch and a half, I'd be a bit cautious with 275/40/17s in the front. Mine rubbed a little after I lowered mine only 1". I changed to 255/40/17s and I have no rubbing issues.

Why do you want to run such a fat tire in the front? Just run the 275s on the rear.

I have 275's up front on my 9 inch rim, because I had a cheap deal on the tires. They look pretty good when you look at the car head on. But you only need a 245 up front. If you want to rotate tires, then get 275's all the way around.

Why do you only need a 245 up front?
