I am looking at getting a couple 245/60/15 tires for the rear to mount on my stock turbines. The overal diamater should be just over an inch taller than stock, my suspension is all stock and sits kinda 4x4. Will they fit without any rubbing issues? Would it help if I flipped the quad shocks and rolled the fender lips?

Those tires are really too big for the rim, they're not going to get you anything extra except looking like you put too big a tire on the rim. They will also make your car look more like a 4x4 than it does now, since it will sit about 1/2" higher.

yeah i agree, the tires were on the car when i got it. I wouldnt personally put a tire that big on the rim. Its pretty pointless
