Need help with front end clearance issues due to tires

[stang13]

Hi I just got my 70 rt challenger and noticed a corner of my front fender was rubbing the fire on tight turns . The previous owner has cragar as on there  which I like but I am not sure why he is running this tire combo of 215 x 70x 15 on the front and 255 x 60 x 15 I suspect the front 70 serried tire is the problem . I was thinking of buying two new front tires to hopefully solve the problem . I was wondering if using a 205 x 60 x 15 with the 255 x 60 x 15  will work . Is anyone running a tire that small on the front ?

Yes it should work , the 60 series tire is shorter & will help the stance also but there are other variables such as the backset of the wheel pushing the rim too far out posiibly

Use this easy-to-use calculator to get all the different measurements you could ask for http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/tirecalc.php?tires=255-60r15-295-40r18

  i think a 205-60-15 will look pretty small on your car,in diameter that is. maybe check your front end settings first?

I have 235 60s on the front of Cuba and no problems

Like I just said, in another thread, a 235/70/15R just touches the front edge. Why is yours touching with a smaller tire? It's front end alignment; you need to move the rear UCA setting all the way in, then compensate for camber with the front adjusters, by moving them. This will pull the tire backward in the well. Probably you need all new bushings on that crate.

Whats the offset on the Cragars?  I've seen guys buy deep dish, high offset Cragars and have problems like this.
