4/5 drop tire suggestions

[Elsie72]

I've got another vote for 275-60 15's on 8" rallys. Looks really good IMO. I think I'll look into 255's on front when these 235's wear out, but I've only got 500kms on them, so it could be a while

Where on the LCA does your 18s rub? With the correct BS, I'm wondering if it's possible to tuck about an inch of tire at ride height. With a 3" dropped spindle and using a larger diameter wheel (larger outer loop), I thought it may clear the lip on the LCA. At full turn, I haven't yet checked the clearances on the LCA or other suspension pieces on how wide of a wheel I can run with a given BS. (I'm ignoring the inner fender issues for now.)

They rub @ close to full lock. They just rub farther in on the a-arm lip. My fronts are 18x8's w/5.25 bs. I feel 5" bs would work better & still keep the wheel tucked. Mine is tucked enough right now that I have no worries about hitting the outside fenderlip @ all w/approx 5-6" of front drop. I just can't turn the wheel too far ..... especially when backing into a parking spot (that's when it seems the worst).
