So I am new here,just bought an 03 gt black and I want to buy tires for the rims I am getting...Rim sizes are 18x9 in front and 18x10 in the back... I've been told 275/35 n front and 295/35 in the back...Is this a good size? I will be lowering my car 2 inches soon after as well and I am a little concerned about rubbing...I don't thnk it will rub, but I am not sure....Any feedback, pictures, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

those are really low profile..they will look good with the drop..but personally i wouldnt go under a 45-50 (you were told 35)

you can go that low since the stock tires are already 45 series and you are going to be getting a wider tire as well.

you need to get a 35 side wall, since you want 18" instead of the stock 17". I have 17x9 .....275/40 up front and I get a little bit of rubbing when my wheel is close to lock on either side. I have a 1 1/2 inch drop too. Also my rear tires rub the exhaust pipe, but I just crimped the tail pipe with a clamp now I am good. I ahev 17x10.5 .....315/35 out back.

Yeah 35's will be fine. I have 265/35/18's up front and 285/35/18's out back, but want to go bigger in the spring. No rubbing with my H&R drop. Im either going to get 295's or 305/315's, if they fit, later on.
