[QUOTE="mcglsr2, post: 1336601, member: 15705"] Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. If people are giving you a hard time, it's because 255 tires fit up front with no issue. That's not to say that *you* aren't having trouble; however you have to understand that 255 is a normal fitment for the front. Now, if you are rubbing (as you say you are), there *is* something wrong. The obvious culprit is the offset on your wheel is wrong. If that's correct, and you are contacting stuff inside the wheel well, then either your steering rack is shot and you are able to turn the wheel more than you should, or something else in your front suspension is messed up. FWIW, my wheels are 17 x 9, +22mm offset. My tires are Nitto 255/40's. They most absolutely do not rub. Here's pics of clearances: [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l248/mcglsr2/Mustang/Wheels/IMG_4023.jpg[/IMG] The only rubbing here is on my brake duct hose (which I didn't realize, glad I took the pic lol). Otherwise, tons of space: [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l248/mcglsr2/Mustang/Wheels/IMG_4018.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l248/mcglsr2/Mustang/Wheels/IMG_4019.jpg[/IMG] Clearance to the front fender well: [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l248/mcglsr2/Mustang/Wheels/IMG_4020.jpg[/IMG] Clearance on the rear of the tire and towards the top of the wheel well: [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l248/mcglsr2/Mustang/Wheels/IMG_4022.jpg[/IMG] Plenty of space all around. If you are rubbing, then something is wrong. The first place to start is your offset on the wheel and if that turns out to be correct then go from there. [/QUOTE]
