      shouldn’t be the pirelli slicks 305/660/18’s are listed at 26.3″ tall.

      Lots of folks run 305 30 18 Hoosiers in the front which are listed as 25.6

      I don’t have rub issues but my front end is lowered and its getting close.

      Yeah, with the MCS set up you can lift the front, but you need keep the rake so you’ll have to lift the rear if needed. doing that could make the rear have a larger gap

      Are you interested in more tire or a special set of 19″ wheels?

      I’m interested in a slightly taller tire, primarily for asthectics. I have the 295/25/19 24.8″ khumos up front and I just can’t get with the rubber band look up front compared to the tallish 27″ rear khumo 355’s.

      Khumo has a 305/30/19 listed in the v720 model. It’s not the v720 acr line and it might not be a great tire to match to the rears but I love the stickiness of the rear end with the acr v720’s and I’m willing to at least try the v720 non-acr spec tire. This is for a street application so I’m thinking I should* be okay..

      I run a 285/35/18 PSS for the fronts on mine…not quite as tall as what you are looking at, but hasn’t been an issue over the past few years I’ve had them.

      I am looking at the possibility of running a 305/30/19 up front. I have MCS adjustable coilovers so I should be able to appropriately adjust the ride height but I am not finding much info on ride height vs rubbing.

      I know part of this depends on the offset of the wheel, which is planned to be 11″ wide with a +50mm offset.
