Iam running 17x9 inch wheels on my 87 5.0 with
nitto's 245-45-17 and they rub in the front and have now tore my fenderwell on the drivers side. What can i do still run these wheels but not have the rub anymore?
Thanks in advance. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

you just have to roll them o so slightly I have the same exact tire size on my fox and I had the same problem...roling it a little bit solved the problem completely and its free you just need the right size pipe/metal bat yada yada

Luke87gt, they are rubbing in the front with the inner fenderwell and have now ripped the fenderwell plastic on the bottom. I'll try and take a pic 2morrow.
