OK heres the deal I just installed my new rims and tires. Front are 245/45/zr17(17x8) Rear is 275/45/zr17 (17x9). My Left front tire hitsthe innerfront part of thebumper at the bottom when turning the weel to the right. The right front tire is fine when turning to the left. There is only about 3/4 of an inch clearance on the right front so it is real close to rubbing as well. I do not believe the car has been lowered or raised at any point. I know many of you are running the same size tires..Please help me fix this. I cannot return the rims or tires.

I forgot my car is a 1989 lx 5.0

i have the same exact tire setup as you(front and rear)...i had the same rubbing problem..i put bbk performance springs on the front and rear which gave the car a different stance...and i no more tire rub..but it worked for me...im not positive that it would work for u because they are lowering springs but they are alot stiffer.

camber/caster plates.... sounds like your wheels are too far forward

i had the same wheels and tires on my car with no issues. im running a cobra wheel 8in now with 245/45 and no rub either

Ok is my caster/camber plate adjustable? it looks like it is slotted on the bolt. The side that is rubbing seems to have the plate cocked more than the other side. If it is adjustable what is the process of adjusting it? I know i need to pull the tire and jack it up..what comes after that??

you don't have caster camber pates on your fox..only an adjustment for camber which is what you see......the caster /camber plates to which addermk2 refers are aftermarket ones
