I'm running 245 45 17's all the way around with no rubbing. I'm also running 17x9's.

I slapped in the Eibach Pro-kit and only have about 1/4 of clearance between the top of the front tire and the fender. Every time there's a slight bump the tire hits the top of the fender.

I do NOT have spring isolators in the front- I'm thinking if I put them in they should give a little room to breathe. The reason they're not in is because I couldn't get them in- even with both types of spring compressors.

I do have two 235/45/17 tires laying around and if I put the isolators and run the smaller front tires, do you guys think it will rub?
