Will these snow tires rub?

A guy I know is selling the snow tires (Dunlop SP Wintersport M2) Tires off his Porsche. I was wondering if these would rub on my 01 AE Max. It is lowered on H+R's and has 245/45/18's right now.

The Porsche Tires are 265/35/18 Front, and 225/40/18 rear (or i guess you could do it the other way around too)

I have seen guys w/ retarded wide tires on the fronts here before, I was wondering if these would rub on my current setup. THey will be mounted on 6th gen maxima 18's.

Let me know

-Ryan

The tires might rub a lil bit at full turn. I would run the 265 in the rears though.
FYI. Next time get skinnier tires to run during winter. It;s is easier for a car to cut through snow with a thinner tires. Looks for 215s next season. Just a suggestion, although 225 is just fine.

If you put the 265's in the back everything should be good.
