    275 rear on a fox?

    Anyone run a 275 rear tire on the back? If so what do you have to do so they don't rub? My car is lowered1.5 inches. Let me know going to order new tires friday. The wheels will be 17x9.

    I never had a problem, Cobra R standard backspacing, I was lowered around the same, maybe slightly less.

    I run 275's on a 17x9. There is plenty of room. I don't have quad shocks on my car, if you do, that's the only thing I can see coming close to interfering.

    I'm running that same wheel except in silver. 17x9 all the way around with 255/40/17's in front, and 275/40's out back.

    I run the same rims in silver with 5 lugs.

    I'm using zr17/40/275 no problems at all.

    I do have adjustable LCA's but unless I"m going to haul around some fatties I don't ever have to adjust them and I still get no wheel well rub.

    you wont have a problem other then maybe removing the quad shock. I put a 275 on the red car for the street.
