RE: Clearance Issues
no shocks, just struts on the front.
she has several choices to make:
change the wheels to get the correct offset; do some more trimming if this will give her proper clearance; or start over from scratch with new wheels and tires that will fit!
the chik can't drive it if she can't steer it, ha, ha, ha.....
even a drag racer has to turn to get off the track![sm=smiley2.gif]

DAMN! Those are some hot wheels. Bet those would look sweet on my 86. Dont know if I could part with the welds though, wich also rub. I just trimmed the fender wells back then the tires just eventually rubbed a nice little hole for the rest of the way so now they fit quite nicely!

dont know if it would make a difference but maybe you should of got 245-45-17 for the front and keep the 255 for the back. maybe it would help with some of your rubbing
