TIRES! 1" Drop

My rims are going to be here tommorrow, and the shop where I bought them from said that my FD with a 1" drop has to have 265 in the rear or it will rub, So does anyone have a 275 in the rear with a 1" drop or know for sure if it'll rub?

Thanks

Really depends on the offset and rim width. Whatever tire size you choose, try to stay within the overall diameter of 25 inches + or - 0.3 inches. This will keep you speedometer error down to a minimum, and rear axle ratios near stock levels.

The rims are 18x8 up front and 18x10 on the rear, with a offset of 45, so do you think I'll have a prbelm with that setup on my car with a 1" drop
