My new tires are 255's up front 275's in the back, how bad if any should i expect them to rub in the front and what can i do to help the problem? Someone said they grinded their lower control arm a little bit and that stopped it, but im not sure on that. Anyone?

Well, I have 245/40/17 up front and 275's/35(Ithink)/17 in back and it kinda sucks. My suspention is pretty worn out I'd imagine (85k miles) but the car seems to always scrape on itself going in driveways and it really cut down on the turning radius up front it seems.

If it's lowered I'd worry more about the back. My 235's up front only scrape on u-turns... but then that's 20mm difference so...

I run 245/50/16 BFG KDW's up front. They dont rub a bit, I use coil-overs and have about 1 1/4" clearance and slightly rolled lips. No clearance probs at all, even during severe cornering.
I noticed that when I ran Petenzas of the same size, they DID rub. Not all tire dimentions are the same, even if the aspect ratio #'s match.
What springs do u use?
