Default WILL THESE RUB?

Im ordering 18x9/10 bullitts for my car and I wanted to know if a 275/35 in the front will rub. My car is about 2 inches lowered. Im debating between a 265 and a 275, but id like to go with a 275. Is it possible?

It's possible, my 17 Cobras rubbed, only on a complete turn though.

275/35/18 will rub if you cut it all the way with a 2 inch drop. That is the only way other then that u will be straight i work at a rim shop we ran into this problem before but it was nothin serious so u will be good...
