Default 9.5" all around with 245/40, will I rub?
Im about to order these wheels/tires but the specs are:
18x9.5 +20
245/40/18

I want to lower on tanabe springs but it is really hard to search for this type of answer.

I shouldnt rub, am I correct?
I dont see many people run over a 9" in the front with a low offset..

Oh no sorry I thought you were asking for the rear size. I have 275/35 up front which is just a little shorter than stock fronts and 275/40 in there rear which is pretty much identical height to stock rears. Both are on 18x9.5 +15 rpf1's though.

Not a bad wheel at all but please go wider with the tires. The 245/40 is great up front, but you really need wider in the rear.

cool thx you guys.

and myv6isfaster, eh, i would but 9.5" is the biggest wheel 5zigen makes for this rim. and since they are 18" wheels, i didnt want to stick a 275 on the rim. it makes the 18" wheel look small and the tire looks chunky.

I don't think the tire makes the wheel look small. I KNOW I NEED A DROP.......

Here is 18x9.5 +20 all around 245/40 front 275/40 rear:







And the 245/40 is a bit stretched, I don't think it would look right on the rear:
