275/40 R17 in front?
Pretty much as the title says. Will 275/40 R17 run in the front? I've heard they will run in the back, but I've heard mixed reviews about running that wide in the front. I'm running 245/45 R17 already.

That's what I'm running all the way around. P275/40/R17, I did have to have my exhaust shaved a little in the front and rewelded (y-pipe) so the tires wouldn't rub it when it was turned all the way. Other then that, they don't run at all.

Now thats with a Z28. Isn't the steering ratio different with an RS? Like I've heard that you can turn the wheels sharper in an RS. But thats still good news. Cause that means its possible.
