I have a 93 notchback and I put on my 93 cobra rims front tires size 235/45/17 and rear tires size 245/45/17. Front rubs on the fender when I turn the wheel all the way and Rear rubs on the quad shock when I make a turn what can I do to prevent it????

In the rear take the quad shock off and put it back on in the opposite way. This will often allow it to clear. In the front try and look at exactly where it is hitting and you'll need to modify the fender some.

Is your car lowered? Maybe try dropping the sidewall down if it's bothering you. Also tires are different, I had some Yokohamas that were 225 55, put on the same size BFGs and they would rub so bad I couldn't make a full turn. Put on 50 series and now it's fine.

Damn I wouldn't go any bigger than a 40 series tire for the street.

The fronts rub because 93 Cobra rotors are different. Unless you wanna run spacers, there's not alot you can do...other than don't turn the wheel full-lock.
