Well I have 275/35s on the front and they rub a little bit during extremely hard turning. Nothing too bad at all though.

I run 275/40 r 17's all the way around and love em. No rubbing or anything. Makes the car look tough also.

245 in the front 275 in the rear. gives the car a better looking stance from the back end and fills up the fender wells alot better.
