:I bet you can't turn full lock and not rub a bit, hehe. When I drove with Glenn's 9.5" front CCWs with 275 rubber (A032rs) there would be a little tire rubbage I think on the front inner fender lining.
:What offset on that front wheel? What about the rears?
:For the rear you could tuck your wheel in with some agressive camber. The wheel does stick out a bit past the body, if you bottom out I'd think you'd rub.
:But I don't think anyone has the traction you do, lol. Thanks for posting, its been hard to find max sizes to fit on the Z with pictures...
:Another caution, with those wide of front wheels, your tires will sling up pebbles/rocks and it can mar the doors of your car. Keep them well waxed and don't understeer when you don't have to, that'll minimize it.
I was most scared about making the fronts fit and thought i would have to switch to a skinnier tire. I mounted them up and they were really close to the vertical supension member but dident rub. I may run a really thin wheels spacer just in case of slight deflection during hard turning. Or switch to a 255 or 265(if they make one) up front. The fender liners never hit and i did some figure 8s in a parking lot with the steering full locked. I plan on removing them anyway since its easy and they really dont do anything but protect the back of the intercoolers.
As for the rears the pictures posted were taken with a 8mm wheel spacer, but since then i notched the lower control arm and they fit without the spacer. So the tires should not stick out past the fender lip and rolling the fenders should take care of any problems there. I just got them on last night so ill address any problems that come up from there.
