I would think with +24 you could run 275 in the front without issue at stock ride height. 265 should be super safe in the stock fender. I plan to buy new wheels next year so I can run 285 in the front on swift springs. Having the fenders rolled and pulled will give me a little breathing room.

I was suppose to have them rolled and pulled by a shop last weekend. They canceled on me at the last minute so now I am having it done next weekend. I will post pictures of it when it is done. They said they can typically do it without damaging paint, which would be ideal.

I run 9.5" @ +20 on the fronts with 265's. Lowered on Swifts and no issues what so ever. Don't know why your 275's don't work. That's strange.

I found that they are +15 wheels, after measuring them, and the seller told me they were the +24 wheels

There's your problem..... Way too aggressive for stock fenders and 275's.

I was at 9.5"/+20 on Swifts and 275 PSS and it rubbed the crap out of my liner and bumper tab. I rolled the fender and it was better but still rubbed the bumper tab. I've since swapped over to 265 S-04 and it's much better...still occasionally hear a tiny rub on the bumper tab on big dips..but nothing I worry about anymore.

Sorry for taking so long on the update. I had my front fenders rolled and pulled ~10mm. I've driven ~3,000 miles and the tire only rubs a tiny bit on very hard corners. Other than that, the rubbing seems to be fixed. It was done at a local shop and they had the proper tool. They charged me $55. The paint was not damaged and it turned out as good as I could have hoped.

I am trying to get newer struts since I am at 70,000 miles now. Once I get those, I am going to put them on with the Swift springs that I have. Then I will probably go back to have the fronts pulled a little more since I would assume the rubbing will come back when I am lowered. I will post pictures of the current state later tonight.

If you go lower, you will have to either relocate/cut/bent the bumper tab/mount since it'll rub big time even if you add ridiculous amount of camber. Nissan did not consider that part when they made this car but they sure did for the rears.

I have heard about the bumper tab from others who have lowered their car so I am anticipating it but will tackle that hurdle when it comes. I will update the thread again in a month or so once it is lowered and rolled again.
