Just FYI 9.5 LMGT4's + 295/35/18 tires up front
 
I just put on a set of 18x9.5 et30 LMGT4's with 295/35/18 Kumho MX tires on the front of my car without rubbing(although it's damn close). I've got 2.6 degrees of negative front camber and could probably get away with a 5mm spacer.

Is that setup for autocross or are you experimenting? Im just wondering why you would need a front tire that wide.

what are your running on the back tires?

why would you go that big...the steering of the car would be thrown off...along with the power steering pump

I feel sorry for your p/s pump.

I drove it fairly hard on the way to work this morning through the back roads and not a single VDC issue. It's only a 26.1" tall tire so I didn't expect any interference anyway.

This is actually just temporary. I will be replacing all the tires with 255/40 RT-615's in the next few days. After driving with these this morning I can say that the Kumho MX's are LOUD! It sounds like a steam roller, tons of road noise compared to the Bridgestones. I can say that turn in response is way up!

These Kumho MX's must run small, because their actual width is just a hair wider than the Bridgestone 275/40's. The 255/40 RT-615's I have are just a little bit narrower than the Bridgestone RE050A 275/40's.

Hmmm... interesting :thinking:. I didn't know that different brand tires would affect sizing SO much!
