I have a 2nd gen TA with these wheels and am running a 275/40 tire on them. I run a 7/16 spacer in front and a 1" in back. No rubbing in the back and only a full lock do I see signs of rubbing in the front. Stock geometry and control arms.

Greg,

Car looks Great! I was looking at Dark Knights build on PT and seen your car in once of his pictures. I dont think I am able to run 9.5's up front unfortunately. Unless I remove my wheel wells. I might end up doing that. Thanks for the details tho. Car looks great.

The learning continues.... Maybe you could get a 9" wide wheel and still run the 275 wide tire. I now think that my wheels are probably too wide for a 275 tire and if I ever go to another wheel I will go smaller, that way the side wall is less prone to rolling over.

Good luck!
