Tires - square setup?
 
I just read an old thread about how the same size tired as the rear will fit the front. If you have done this, do the tires rub. I'm not getting tires anytime soon. Mine still have the paint on the tires.

With the correct coil overs, negative camber, wheel backspace and offset you can run a 315 upfront on an 11 inch wheel.

I'm running 285/35/19's on all four corners with stock suspension (for another week or so anyway) with no rubbing.

Presently I'm running the stock 245/45/19 Pirellis on 9" Boss 302 wheels with a 1" lowering using Eiback Pro springs. No other suspension mods, no effect on camber.

I plan on 275/40/19 square in the near future. I'm assured there'll be no problems. I'm reluctant to go wider since I don't want to replace anything else.

So. Stock wheels and same size rear to front? Like the stock tire size on the front?

My mistake, I didn't notice the stock wheel bit.

I am not on stock wheels, but my wheels have a more aggressive offset than stock and they still do not rub. I think you'd be just fine.

I've run 19X9.5 with 285/35/19's square for over two years...rear is lowered with Steeda Boss 302 specific springs, front springs are stock....I've never had any problems or rubbing.

I wonder what the point of having smaller fronts was? Especially when there was a complaint of under steer.
