Default SHould my tires be rubbing?

I bought some weld rims and tires from a guy who had them in a fox. They didn't rub on his car, but they rub on mine. the back tires are 255 60 15. I don't know if my car has been lowered or what, but what is the easiest fix to stop the rubbing without buying new tires or rolling the fenders.

if they are rubbing the quads just reverse the quads end for end, you'll add 1/2" of space.

if they are rubbing on the wheel well, roll the fenders. did he have spacers on his car ??

Nitrous bob is right on. Those are both quick fixes. If you have good torque arms I would just leave the quads off.
