Default Tire Q...need to confirm my suspicion

255/35's up front...doable? Obviously i'd rather use a 235 or so but doable until i can buy tires correct?


Also...consider it if one's vehicle was on coilovers...

dude i got that same tire set up, up front, minor minor rubbing, just use a bat and roll the fender a tiny bit and you will be straight. oh and i have tanabe df's which drops it like 2" in the front and i have NO rubbing issues. i am thinking about getting the same size tire again. if your on coils you can make it work anyways. how low are you?
