will wide tires hit fender while turning?
well i just got my new tires. Now I'm worried that they might be a bit too wide. I know they'll fit but when I make full turn, will the wheel rub against the inside of the fender wall? The tire size is 245 50 16 on stock pony wheels. I also lowered the car an inch or so with the eibach pro kit. anyone know? thanks

they wont rub but at certain situations they may.. such as hitting a bump while turning.
honestly i dont see the need for a 245 in the front. car was not designd for that size tire in the front.

I know but I wanted a certain brand (Dayton) and they're not in businessanymore, so they're leftovers but they're new. and 245's were the only size that was left so I got 4 of them.

245's on 95's split tri rims, tore up my fenders. They guy I bought it from didnt roll the fenders and it pulled and rolled the lip outwards. My car was raced a little it looked like. Has Eibach Pro Springs. Even afer I fixed and rolled the fenders it would rub the front lower plastic ground affect peice. I had to cut some of that off. Because my car was as low as it was, it would rub if I hit a bump hard. So I removed the plastic fender wells. Now it doest rub, and I plan on putting 255's on the front next.
