Forget it. Number one you would need wider rims than 8" just to properly mount the tires. Number two, I really don't think you have that much room in your fender wells without other mods to the suspension.

Also i found your comment rather funny after i read it then looked at your sig and saw
Some is good,
More is better,
Too much is just right!

lol...but ya

ORIGINAL: BAD FN GT

Well I was planning on 275/35/18 out back and 235/40/18 up front. Is that a bit too radical of a difference?
A few things....
1. You won't be able to rotate them if they're directional.
2. On 8 inch wide rims, 275's are way too wide.
3. You'll have massive understeer because of way more grip in the back than the front.

Is it just the staggered look you're looking for?
