What year is your car? Mine is a 90 and I can't quite turn all the way without a little rubbing. But, I am used to it and know my turning limits, plus I love the look of my car now.

Front will rub. Unless you want to "massage" everything with a hammer get a skinny tire up front. I'm going to end up getting 17x8's or maybe even 7.5's in the front, plus why do you need all that tire in the front ~Brian
