315/35/127 on the rear is great but 255/45/17 on the front rubs so bad. It rubs on so many things. I would get 40 serries next rount.
Note that my car is not the real turbo. It's a carrera adding fender/flare to have the turbo body wide.
BTW, nice car. Where are you in SCal?

I just put my Lindsey wheels on today. I have to hang tight before I really drive the car because I have to get it aligned and get all four sides quarter balanced on Saturday morning.
I'll keep you guys posted how it goes.

275's in front will make themselves known in heavy braking (with a Turbo's spacers) and when you're parallel parking. Other than that, they're not bad at all.
A smaller-than-stock steering wheel will be harder to turn, too.
My front suspension is not stock, but I run 275's with narrower-than-turbo front flares. I'm surprised that 255's rub with full Turbo flares, but I believe it.

Jack,
my 255x45x17 rub. I think his 255/40/17 won't because mine rub to many places but it rub slightly.
Dentron,
Where are you in OC. I gotta come to check it out some days. Which day that model is there? :lol:

I'm actually in North O.C. you'll have to make a run with us some day. I have to get my car lowered, aligned & corner balanced on Saturday, but this picture is a couple hours after we put the wheels on.
The 255 40s seem to work well on the front...
I plan on getting rid of the gap in the rear on Saturday.
