Default 275-50-15 MT ET Street radial II

Ive tried searching for this info but havent found a whole lot about these tires mounted on a civic..
To the people running 275-50-15's, my question is: Will I be able to clear them using a 15x7 rpf1 with a +35 offset on an Eg (stock fenders and bumper) without having to run spacers? When I say clear I mean the clearance on the upper control arm since Im already reading that I will have to trim the bumper and flatten the pinch welds on the fender. Im fine with skyjacking the car to make these clear. lol. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick responses guys! Based on the link below it looks like I will be ok! I will prob run a small spacer to be on the safe side as well. My offset should help since they are a +35 offset as opposed to a +40.

Is anyone who is running these tires still having issues with traction on full boost in 3rd gear on the street??

Well I mounted them on the car last night. Not too bad fitment wise. I did have to ditch my mud guards tho. Just for reassurance, I took a hammer to the pinch weld inside the fender and bent it over. There were no issues with rubbing the front bumper with the wheels turned but I am going to trim it a little bit because my suspension is too soft up front.

why not just buy a exospeed front end for it? you will have really no issues when putting that front end on

For sure! Thats the plan eventually. I think those front ends look so rowdy. When I get the car resprayed it will have the exospeed front on it. The car is from FL so the paint and clear coat is all haggard. Right now im just tryin to get the car running and back on the street.
