I am about to pull the trigger on this tire size for the front, but very few people have done this. I have seen 2 members who did it and one claims they rubbed a little before they heated the wheel well plastic. I want to do this to even out the front to rear bias and eliminate the stretched look of the 225. My concerns are:
1) I am lowered on Tein CS about 1.1 inch up front and .8 inch in the rear.
2) I am running 15mm H&R wheel spacers this gives my front wheel a 30mm offset.
I do not rub now with the 225/40/18, but want to make sure I won't with the 235/40/18 either. I am looking to even out the front and rear tires by not giving such an extreme bias and also improve the ride a little. I would love some feedback from those who have done this and also some pics would be great.

What i would do is go to Discount tire and have them Test Fit a tire for you! They did this for me on the rims i got from you! No cost either for them doing this. It took them about an hour...? but it got me the answer i was looking for before i ordered the tires and was sol...
ps...still waiting on one tire to slap these bad boys on. They had to get the tires from all over the place as they are on backorder with everyone. It sounds like they are not going to make the 275/35-19 for the PS2 anymore. So i lucked out on getting them...just tired of waiting for them!

I am going to go to discount and test some today. I may buy some used 235/40/18 with like 500 miles on them off of another member. This way I can save some money on the fronts and I only have to buy the rears at retail.
