I first had 255/35/20 Nitto 555's on fron and hated them because they looked like a truck tire. They were actually a larger diameter than the 285/30/20 Nitto's I had on the rear.

I'm running a 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 Falken 451

Fronts are 20x9 +23 I think...ask Gilley, he has the same wheels. I could def use like a 5mm spacer in the front, but it's good enough as is.

I have no rubbing issues at all, lowered on S-techs. But, I'm ditching them for 350z H-techs and Tokico's

BFG KDW2's in 255/30/20 and 285/30/20. The KDW 285's are wider than the Nitto 555 285's.

The offset on the front Maya GR5's are +26.

What suspension? Finally, did you rub when you ran the 35-series tires on the front?

Tein 350Z S-Techs, Tokico Spec D shocks, and SPC front a-arms and rear camber arms.

I never drove with the 35's up front because I hated the look. I don't think they would rub.

I'm runnin 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20.
My wheels are 20x9+15 and 20x10+20
stock sport suspension and no rubbing at all. i'm also in Dallas. streets do suck in some areas, but you should be alright if you lower on G H-techs or S-techs.

So what happens if you get rubbing in the front? Is your only option to run more negative camber?

very few people that have that aggressive of an offset or running that large of a tire (andrew was running 265/35 on his fronts) are low enough to have to even worry about this. i can only imagine that they have to run negative 3+ camber.

i'm running 255/35/20 in the front. I also don't like it. looks a bit buldged. running about 1.3-1.4 degree camber .. the tires are slightly tucked. I'm only rubbing on the passenger side because the caster is jacked up some how so the wheel is closer towards the front. Driver's side i have no problems rubbing. I have a problem with both sides going up and down the driveway if I don't keep the wheels straight.

i'm going with 255.30.20 next time around.

im running 255/30 in the front and they are very close to rubbing when the shock is fully extended. like when you are jacking up your car to change the tires.
