With stock suspension you should be fine. My 295s in front only rub plastic fender skirt occasionally (little scuff in plastic) and my car is almost 2 " lower than stock. Remember im on 18s and run 295/30/18. I run 275/35/18 front Nitto Nt05 on street with no rubbing at all.

If 295's only rub a little, then 275 will have zero issues. I haven't bought my wheels yet, ordering them next month. I was planning on going with 18's but Vivid checked brake clearance with he AP's on the type F and said the caliper would hit the barrel. He did say that they noticed the printer didn't print the template out in a 1:1 ratio so that could have been the problem. Worse case, I can order the 18's and check their fit over the brakes before having the tires mounted. Looks like I will be going with either a 275/285 or 275/295. Just need to determine my wheel size then brand of tire. Thanks for the help.
