That's a serious tire rub. Car looks great.

Is that a 26" tire?

Tire Rack website says 26.7" for a 275/40 and 255/40 is 26"
Thanks for the compliment!

I thought the sidewall looked to fat. It should be a 26" or smaller tire. A 275/35/18 would've been a better choice at 25.6" It will gain you .5" of bump clearance. Your rub looks like it's under suspension compression?

Todd yes it rubs under compression.
I have 235/40 in the front. Just worried how it would look with 235/40 in front and 275/35 in back. They are almost the same height.
Also will it make the rear appear to sit lower than front?
I would say car is level as it sits now.
