26.6" (275/35/19) tires front and rear, any issues with lowered car?
Guys,
I am planning to run 26.6" tires on a set of 19's front and rear. Tires are 275/35/19. Has anyone run this size? Any issues with clearance on front tires while turning?
Here is a photoshop of the wheels I am planning to run. I am at this ride height too.

Thanks,
John

So I've run a 285/40/17 (25.98") up front before on a 17x9 wheel with a -5 offset. Even with my fender liners removed I could barely turn the wheels before that would rub on the battery tray. I think your other biggest concern here would be what offset you will be running.
Now I do have a set of 18x9.5 +4 wheels with 275/40/18 (26.6"). If your not in a hurry, I could throw them on the front and snap some pictures and measurements for you maybe this weekend.

Thanks for the offer. My wheels will be around +18-20mm offset. This is with a big brake kit. Without a big brake kit they would be about +10-12, So I should have less problems than your -5's or +4's since my wheels should travel in a somewhat smaller arc. With that in mind I'm not sure there is much to learn from you trying your +4's. What do you think? I appreciate the offer though. I wouldn't mind seeing how they fill out the front fenders.

I run 18's with drop zone springs the tires measure 26.8 overall diameter minor rubbing on the top of inner fender when you hit a large dip in the road other than that its fine.
