I think i've figured it out... but how to fix?
Ok, as some of you know, i recently installed the 2003-2004 cobra rims with the 275/40 tires on my 2000 mustang GT. A few weeks ago, i noticed that there was a rubbing sound whenever i would make a sharp right turn. Well i realized that the tire is slightly rubbing the front right controll arm. This only occurs when i make a sharp RIGHT turn. My question is: can i sand/grind the area on the controll arm that gets rubbed by the tire just enough to stop the rubbing? OR... would it be best to go with the 2003-2004 cobra controll arms?
Thanks, Joey S.

A lot of people will grind it just enough for clearance.
You are messing with the structural integrity of the part, but unless you do some serious grinding you won't hurt it.

Why dont u just buy some 245's to stick up front???? Just throw the 275's that are on the front now in the garage and you will have a spare set of rears for when u burn those up. Just an idea.
