235s up front with Eibachs

[ALBERTAN]

I just did a search and read as much as I could about running 235/60R15 tires up front on stock rims. It sounds pretty uneventful, other than some people getting a little rubbing at full lock. But I'm curious how these tires would work with a set of new Eibach lowering springs I have lying around. I can always get the tires and try it I guess. But I'm hoping someone will know already. Wheels will be factory T wheels. Thanks.

Shouldn't be any problems. I run that size with Ride Tech coil overs lowered two inches and don't hit anything unless it's a huge bump. I had the DSE 2" drop shocks and springs before the coil overs and had no issues there either. You should be fine! My tires were on stock 87 GN wheels.

I've run 235's for over 15 years now on the front with stock suspension. No issues with rubbing at all.

Thanks for the feedback. I got the tires ordered today. Apparently, 235/60R15 MT Sportsman S/T's are discontinued already. I had to settle for some BFG Radial T/As. Oh well.
