Whats the rim size up front? i'm running the 255/50/17s up front on my car. Just maybe next time you have to buy tires, somethin to consider. they should fit, i have tons of clearance up front with em

235/50 up front and believe it or not ifi turn hard say in a parking lot and the body rolls a little I can here the tires scraping a little.  How did you get 255's to clear?

I run 17x8s up front with 4.5" backspacing. Nothing really fancy. Floor to center of my front fender arch is 24" (for right height comparison)

I think height from floor to fender lip is 25" and my wheels are 4.5" BS. Did you roll your lip any...maybe I have a wider lip?   :clueless:
