I'm running 295/35's in the back and 235/40's in the front. They are Bridgestone Pole Positions.

Yes, they rub front and rear. They were not my initial tire of size, but I got such a good deal on them that I could not pass it up. They rub in the front on full lock sometimes. I think it's hitting the plastic liner on the inside. It is very minimal and doesn't bother me at all (I'm very critical of things also) The rears rub on the inside. I jacked the car up over the weekend while changing my oil and I could see where the undercoating was being rubbed off. A few people in my car club told me that they experienced the same problem with other tire/rim combinations. They told me that a few hits with a rubber coated hammer solved the problem. It only rubs on big dips with a full tank of gas. I'm just going to wait till the backs wear out and get a set of 285/35's to fix the problem. The fronts are going to stay the same cause they look much meatier than the 215/40's most people are running. 215's are too small with 285 or 295 out back.

The looks soooooooooooooooooo out weigh the little bit of rubbing, that I don't care at all!! I don't track the car so I don't know how hard cornering will come into play. I think if you were to stay with 285's the rubbing would not be an issue in the rear. Like I said I couldn't pass up the deal on the tires.

In one week my car went from looking like ever other red/tan NSX to my own personal space ship. The H&R springs plus the rims/tires turned it into a real looker. My buddies stock 96 993 looks like a VW Bug next to it now. Can you say, Plain Jane!
www.intersportperformance.com is the site that quoted me the best price on the rims. They take about 3 weeks to make and 1 week to ship from Seattle to South Florida. Longest month in my life! ha, ha
