Anyone run a square tire setup? 265 or 275 all around?
I'd like to have a square tire setup so I can rotate front to back. I'm thinking about going 265/35/18 all around on a 18x9 rim with 35mm offset.

Is this doable? Can I squeeze 275/30/18 all around.

Member Jangy, (years ago) ran OEM rears on the front of his E55, claimed it cleared and helped correct under steer.

Yeah so? You can run 265 all around if you wanted. 275 might be pushing it for the front

No rubbing?

It doesnt seem like a popular setup. How come?

I know a guy running rear CLS (19x9.5 et 28) wheels on the front of his E55.

If you're really curious swap your wheels front to back and take a look. Shouldn't be an issue.

And do a skinny-tire burnout.

I think that was the premise...worked until it destroyed the tires/suspension

Do you think a 265/35/18 on a 18x9.5 et35 will fit on the front?

I think it will work on the fender side, but not sure about the inside
