Does anyone have these on the front of their car and if so do you experience any rubbing on turns. I think 245 40 18's would of been better up front and thats what I had on my 98 Saleen S281. I have 295 35 18's in the back. My car is lowered about 2 inches also. Thanks

Run this size for about 4 years now on different 18x9's up front. No issue with rub and I am lowered with a pro-kit.
couple of observations.
1.) if you want a comfy ride go with more sidewall
2.) Handles great
3.) Not much protection for the wheel if you get too close to a curb.

Hope that helps

American Muscle recommends 275/35's for 18x9 wheels. Is that right?

Thanks guys. When I need new tires up front I most likely will go with 245 40's than the current 265 35's. The car is very bumpy up front.

i ran 265/35's on my bbs Rk's before and it was perfect..i loved the size..right now im running 275/40/18's all around the car and my car is lowered about
1.5" in the front and no rubbing on the fender..my rubs inside the fender a tiny bit if i hit a really sharp curve but thats only to my camber being off =0

I have 265/35 in my front and have no rubbing issues and i also have the H&R SS springs with no isos installed all around so you should be good.

My cars has the H&R springs you have and it was a little more than a 2inch drop the previous owner said. I would love to raise it up about half a inch.

Are you still running the stock shocks with that drop setup? I'd be willing to bet that your ride would get a whole lot better with some D-specs.
I've worn out my stockers and it's causing premature tire wear - shopping for shocks and CC plates now

The car has cc plates and the shocks i'm not 100% sure I think they are Tokicos. The guy I bought it from told me everything but I forgot some but did mention replacing the shocks I think. What shocks come with a stock Mach 1 ? Thanks
