275/275 Square set up?!

Im trying to figure out what I would need to do to my front to be able to squeeze a 275 in there on a 18/9.5 rim. Has anyone done this? Im curious what your suspension set up is, or if you had to do anything special.

You'll need a widebody kit for that, evolution raceworks can help you with that. The largest front tire I can recommend is a 245/35/18 on a 18x8.5 or 18x9

Yup ER widebody kit for the front. 275 will work fine in the rear on the Apex Arc ET62.

Without the kit you can fit 245/255 with camber plates on max camber but 275 square would be pretty sweet if you get the ER front widebody.

not entirely accurate.


You can do a 245 square on stock suspension (this is my summer setup on Star specs) 8" et40

You can do a 255 square on 8.5" et40 wheels with 2 degrees negative camber on a slightly dropped suspension. I have a friend who runs this at autox and on the street with his star specs


Arc 8s you can do a 255/275 if you wanted to not do any body work.

Well I'm pretty lowered so I'd probably need -2.5 to fit 255's up front on the Arc's lol.
