I was wondering if anybody has 18's in the front of their LS1 cars with a sportline spring kit or about a 1.6-1.8 inch drop up front. I don't know if the tires will rub or bottom out on the wheel wells or both. any help is appreciated.


Thanks

 

I have 18's, pics in the sig, the onloy rubbing i've noticed is during hard turns it may rub a tad bit on the fenderwell, ive researched this b4 b/c i am getting sportlines, you should not have that many rubbing issues, but you may have to roll the fender lip, other then that if u go with a small series tire u should be fine....

 

put a 245 up front instead of a 275. cheaper and i am pretty sure you have 0 chance of rubbing.

you could always spend the money you save and buy fatter rims for the back and put on 315's

 

I ran 18 x 9.5 rims on my lowered 01 SS with 285 35 Nitto 555's with no problems.

 

Thanks Guys

I wanted to get a good idea of what i'm dealing with before spending that kind of money and firguring out the hard way that it won't fit.

 

a buddy of mine has 18x10 tt2's on all 4 corners and has no problems with rubbing and he runs 275 rubber in the front.
