Just curious, my rear tires are rubbing and i dont want to roll my fenders so I need to get new rear tires.

sorry tires size is 245/40/18 rear and 225/40/18 front.

I've got 235/40-17's all around on my '98 with a set of ACS springs (about 1" lower than stock sport package). I only get rubbing when I've got the rear hatch loaded down with luggage, etc....and then only when hitting a BIG BUMP in the road.

Track days in an unloaded car have no rubbing at all. If you can find 18-inchers in a 235 width they should fit fine. However, using a staggered front/rear setup on the ti may yield more understeer than you'd like. It looks cool, but handling is compromised as a result. My recommendation, for what it is worth, would be to stick with 225's all around, or add 235's all around if you can find them...

Hope this helps...Good luck!

You're running a 40 sidewall? I'm rolling on 235/45-17s all around; which I thought was the correct plus-sizing for our cars. Is the smaller sidewall throwing your speedometer off much?

I'm running
TIRES
215/45ZR17 Front
245/40ZR17 Rear

WHEELS
17x8.5 Front
17x9.5 Rear

with no rubbing at all. Car is a 1995 ti with the sport package so it is about 3/4 to 1 inch lower than a normal ti.

I'm looking for some H&R or Eibach springs if any body knows anybody that wants to sell some.
