Any suggestions on tire sizes? I'm hearing 215/40/17 Fronts and 275/35/18 Rears with Yoko es100 tires. Is most people using this setup. Don't want any rubbing. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks,

If your wheels are 17x8/18x10 then I would recommend going with a 225/35/17 front, and 285/30/18. This will give you the most balanced look IMO. Dali Racing has a great price on some Falken tires in these sizes, and if I ever run those sizes again that's the exact tire size I would get.

On my old Technos, I ran 225/35/17 front and 275/35/18 rear, and to me the rear was too tall.

I didn't have any problems with rubbing, and my car was lowered with H&R's.

Hope that helps
 
With 17" front and 18" rear, most people are using 215/40-17 front and either 255/35-18 or 265/35-18 rear. These sizes should work just fine, and are readily available with a wide range of tires. Anything larger in front is likely to rub the fender well liners on corners. And anything larger in the rear is going to give too much "stagger" (difference between front and rear tread widths).
