275/35/18's on a lowered car?

i searched, read about possible fitment issues etc. Anyways, 18x9.5 AFS z06 wheels all around w/ 275/35/18 rubber on them. Would there be any kind of problem with a lowered car(will get eibach pro-kit). Also, my car sits lower than stock to begin with on stock springs. The use of spacers is out of question

I hope not because I plan on getting a Prokit or some DMS springs in the very near future. So TTT with this thread and hopefully someone will know.

only problems i've heard are during hard cornering when you have not installed an adjustable panhard bar.

the axle will be slightly off center causing a bit of rubbing in hard lateral turns.

center the axle and you should have no problems

Right on teke184 thanks for the info, when I get my spings I will be installing custom valved HD bilsteins, an adjustable panhard, tq arm, lcas, sfcs, and sway bars all at the same time. So I guess I have nothing to worry about.

I've auto-x'ed on my 275/35's with the stock panhard bar and experienced no rubbing at all. The drop with my H&R springs are about the same as with the Pro Kit, so I'm sure you'll be fine.
