Yeah I wonder if they contact the arms on the TP bar at full lock. I'm running 17x9.5 SSR comps with 275 like I think you used to run, and the inner sidewall will rub the front edge of the swaybar arm but only just at full lock. I've been thinking about going to 18s for a while now but tires at that size are pretty pricey.

actually I haven't driven her yet. too much salt and snow on the roads now.
I don't have tripoint bar yet.
Also i never put 17x9.5 ssr's with 275 up front...kept those in the rear. i used 245's on 8.5's up front. I didn't like how the 9.5's fit up front with their +42mm. the 50mm is much better as you can see.
