No, the front isn't any higher. I think because the bumper cover is not on it looks like it is. Right now the tires are a 35 series. I think I will be going to a 40 series in the front. I also will be going to a bigger tire in the back. The fronts are a 275-35-18 now( rears are the same)and I will be going to a 275-40-18. And for the new back tires they will be 315-35-18. And yes they are going to fit. Alot of planing and measuring over and over to make sure it's right.

I used a 1" spacer in front and for the rear I used a 1 1/2" spacer but also add a 5mm flat spacer in the rear. I ordered the spacers for a GM to GM. 5 on 4 3/4 to 5 on 4 3/4. They are hubcentric with a 70.5 center bore. I custom machined the mounting side and opened it up to 73.8mm and bored it to .500 (1/2) deep. Alot of work but it's now coming together.

I ran this same set up on my 2000 LS1 Camaro. Most of the Dodge Vipers, Mustangs, Corvettes are also running this set up. The 315 is the MAX for the XK8. I also will have to do some rear wheel well mod's. I will show the pictures of that when I get to it.

It would definitely have had your preferred scale of wheels and tyres as standard.
