Sweet, I appreciate the help. Yeah I have been looking at those and of course the Potenza RE950's. So 275's will fit all the way around? No need to stagger? If so, this will secure my decision and of course increase tire wear

And BTW those are so awesome Pony's drbobvs and 07stangGrl!!

Thanks again!

Whether 275's will fit without rubbing depends more on your wheels offset. I know the 275's will fit the RIM and if you go with a 40 aspect ratio you will not need to adjust your speedo much if at all.

But the tire rubbing will depend on your rim offset. My 18x9's have a 24mm offset so there'd be way enough clearance if I put on 275's. better check the rim offset an see. If your offset is........hold on and let me get my calculator.......

O.K. If your offset is +28mm or LESS you should be O.K.

To be sure I would check with the seller/manufacturer

Cool thanks, I do appreciate it. Kinda the reason I took this job at Firestone, is so I could learn more about mechanics and specs in general. I am going to go with the Konig Beyond in the 18 x 9 setup, with hopefully the right offset, and probably the 275 Pole Positions all the way around because they are a good deal cheaper than the Bridgestones. I will hopefully have the funds to get these by the week after next (fingers crossed)!!!

Thanks again!!
