Im getting ready to order my new rims/tires for spring/summer. My thought is to go with 275/40/18's all around and some 18x9.5 wheels. I just wanted to make sure there are no drawbacks to having 275's all around.. Rubbing etc... I dont want 255's up front and 275's in back because i want to rotate my tires at least from front to back.

These are 18x9.5 Steeda Ultralites with 275/40/ZR18 Nitto 555 tires. Absolutely no rubbing and my car is lowered about 1.25 inches.

 

I hate spending money. So 275's are all good for 4 corners but Falken GRB FK451's or Nitto 555's ... The Nittos are $41 more a tire. Reading reviews on some of these tire sites is just too much.. Too many mixed reviews for both tires. Any experiences... Wet/Dry. I dont think I fully understand how much more grip im going to have with 275s in place of these horrid pirellis.
