Need wheel advice

[smallv6]

This is what I am planning on doing and I would like to get an answer on if this setup will work and wont rub.
I am buying BFG Drag Radials 275 x 60 x15 for the rear
BFG TA's 235 x 60 x15 for the front
I am mounting these on 15 x 8 American Racing Outlaw 1 rims
(all 4)
I will also at this time be putting Eibach Springs (Pro Kit)
and Bilstein Shocks.
It looks like the Outlaw 1 Rims have 3-11/16 Back Spacing
according to Summits web site.
Before I blow Big Bucks, I would like to know for sure that this set-up will work for sure.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I think that the front 235s may rub on good sized dips. I had 225/60/15s and no contact. I stepped up to 235s and I get contact only when the suspension compresses from a good sized dip. The outer portion of the tire is contacting the top of the inner fender. It isn't damaging the tire in any way, it just sounds bad. It appears that with a little more offset, perhaps 3 3/4 or 4" backspace on the front and there would be no contact. At one time I ran a 215/70 up front with the same wheel and there was no cantact. I guess the combination of a 15x8 wheel with 3½ inch backspace makes a 235 rub. It seems to me that someone I knew ran 235s on stock wheels with no contact, so it definately has all to do with the offset and size of the rim. I run 295/50/15 on the rear with no problems, the 275/60 are tall but should work. Your speedo will be off though.
