Cobra R's 17*9 on front, will they rub???

88COBRA · 07-18-2001, 11:04 PM

I have the opportunity to finally get some rims!

Chrome Cobra R 4 lug, 17 * 9 with BFG 245/45/17. My question is, will this combo rub on my STOCK HEIGHT 88GT?

Thanks

Ian

Currently on my 90GT I have 235/45/17's on the front and they have just enough room for a full turn. I imagine that if you cut the wheel pretty hard that the 245's might rub just a little. I kinda wish I would have got 245's instead of these 235's. I say go for it!
