just got a set of the 19s from the brembo package, tires are 255/40/19 and im noticing some rubbing/grinding/creaking sounds when i've got the wheel fully turned. only thing i can think of is that the fronts are rubbing when turning fully, i figured that i'd be fine cuz the wheels are made to fit mustangs. Is the front rubbing or am i going insane? anything i can do?

I can see no reason they should rub on anything, as that is actually a smaller tire than OEM on your model. You should be able to see evidence of contact on whatever is hitting. You can get some chalk and mark those things that appear to be close and go for a drive. Look to where you get chalk on tire and where it has been rubbed off.

did this turn up anything - curious as I'm looking at putting 19's on my 2011, 255 fronts and 275's rear (staggered wheels) and I'm a bit disturbed to hear you might have rubbing, as these sizes are supposed to fit w/o a hitch. (Sounds like maybe offset issue with the wheel selection?) Very odd!
