    Will 275/60 's on 8.5 X 15 inch American racing vectors have enough clearance on the front? Car currently
    is setup for a level stance, but smaller tires. Would like to do to same with 275/60 on 8.5 X 15 inch vectors
    all the way around, but am not sure about fitment. Anyone running these all the way around?
    Thanks,
    DGC

    I had some 275/60r15s in the rear and they definietly were wide. They stuck out just a tad bit pass the fender. I will say that based on that, I don't think that a 275 would be a good choice on the front. I winded.up with a 255 in the rear and 245 in the front. They are perfect to me. The 245 rubs a little with a full turn of the wheel, and the 255 ticks beautifully under the rear fender and still wide.

    275 is about 10.8in wide, 255 is 10.1in wide, and 245 is about 9.7in wide

    On the front they would rub bad trying to turn. I rub with 245 45 17's on a 17x8 4 inch bs. The 275 60 15 hoosier dr on 8.5 vectors won't fit my car, they hit the quarter lip in the back.
