tire size question

[juvehab]

255 45 17 on a lowered foxbody front and back will they rub at full turn?

thanks

Yes...I would predict the front would rub.

Backs will be fine, fronts will depend on rim width and offset

Damn it I figured the fronts would rub. There goes that purchase you just just saved me some cash.

Rear might even rub depending on wheel offset and whether or not the fender lips are rolled or trimmed. That size is taller than any of the factory Fox tire sizes. If you're set on 255 section width, maybe look at 255/40R17 instead. That will be slightly shorter than OEM Fox sizes.

I went 235-40-17 and 255-40-17 on the rear on 17x8 rims at one time to avoid any issues and they fit perfect.
Years later I NEEDED 315s on the rear and me after
