Tire Recommendations for 18” Wheels ??

[Jdauble]

What are the tire size recommendations for the 18” wheels that come with the 25th Anniversary Roadster? Can I put 275s on the front or stick with 255s? What have other owners done, what do you like? Thanks!

Looks like you're asking Factory Five. Twice. Current owners and builders have discussed this. Here are a few threads. Some have used 275's. They fit but likely will rub the inner fenders when turned hard and you'll need to use rack limiters. 255's are just about perfect on the Roadster IMO. But also look at actual tire dimensions. Not every mfg 255 and 275 are exactly the same dimensions.

I put 265/35 on the front. I have the body set on it and havn't had any trouble with rubbing with the few miles that I have on it.
