Has anyone used 275/35/17 tires on their car? I know that 40 series is a better fit, and 35's will be about an inch smaller in diameter, but I have a problems. My tires rub pretty bad on the back of the wheelwell, and I figure the .5 inch clearance I will get will be plenty.

The only problems I can see are a small increase in RPM's, .5 inch more fender gap (eew) and .5 inch less ground clearance (bad).

I don't think anyone makes a tire in that size. What wheel and offset/backspacing are you rinning. Lots of people run 275/40r17 with no problems, including me.

I was going to get ROH Snypers (17x9). My 245/50/16 tires already rub when turning, so I thought the 275's would only get worse.

im running 245/45/17 on my 17x8. it doesnt rub on turns, but its really close

275/40's on my 17x9 Snypers and no rubbing at all with sportline springs.

my original 16x8's rubbed in the front but the snypers don't rub at all.

go figure?

Well, that's good news. Thanks guys.
