Default 275's all around?

i saw in another thread that with 275's all around there are some issues. will they cause any acceleration problems. How far do i have to turn the wheel for them to rub. I really want wider tires but i want to be able to rotate them. What size do you think i should get? i want the same size all around. if anyone has some pics of maybe some 255 or 265 or 275 i would like to see them so i can see how wide they are. my tires right now are not very wide. i bought the rims off of a guy with a v6 mustang they are 245's but i didnt get new tires at the time because they were brand new so i drove them till now when they need replaced but i want wider tires. But i dont want rubbing problems. any suggestions. Please if you have pics i would like to see like a rear end pic or something.

i have 275s up front on 18s and a prokit drop, no rubbin. Go wider in the rear, you wont regret it, more contact patch and it plain looks cool.

I have heard that people that run 275s on the front can have issues with the car wanting to track back and forth on the road etc, but I have not ever had this happen tome.

I have a 265 tire up front and the car does track left and right... depends on the quality of your roads though. The roads here are bad, no question about it... on some highway exits theres at least a 2 inch dip where most people's tires go commonly... over areas like that, the tires track pretty hard.

i dont think you'll be able to run 275's but I may be wrong.

I had 275 on stock 17x8 rims and they fit fine. I had the Eagle F1's no issues at all I know have 275 all around on a 17x9 with no problems.
