i put 275s on my fronts. you have 18/9 all round? i had big O over on Decatur and Trop do mine. THey were younger guys who were into putting fatties on. give them a call and see what they think. I went to the big O on sahara and they old guy was annoyed that i asked about Nittos and claim he couldnt even get them, but the big O on dec and trop stocked my DRs 305s on my 8x10s, i want to go to 315s for my next set, so i wonder if i can wedge them on.

not sure what more convincing you need than a positive response from the experts? Nothing wrong with 255s, i just wanted fatter meats all around for no other reason.

Just run 285's and you will be fine. You dont wanna spend all this money on tires and have them not fit.

The previous owner made the mistake of going with tires that are way too small look at my sig. I have problems with rubbing the wheels on curbs because there is no sidewall.

Why are you trying to squeeze a bigger tire on a 9 inch rim?? You don't even use the extra tread, it wont even touch the ground.

My 285's are cutting it pretty close on my 18x9 saleens. Is a 265/35 too big for the front? what about if i were to lower the car?

no i dont think that a 265 is to big. im running 285s on my saleen rims also, they fit like perfect.
hey the roush bumper is pretty sick on ure ride, would it match up with a 03-04 cobra front end?
