I have P225/60-15 tires on 1987 Turbine wheels that are rubbing the strut body. Anyone else have this problem, as I can't explain why this would happen with a stock tire/wheel combination.

I have 3 fox bodies and they all have rub marks on the struts.

Really. What are you running for wheels and tires?

The one is my wife's '91 5.0 with stock pony wheels and stock size tires. The second is a '88 4cyl LX with 10 hole wheels and 225/65/15 IIRC. But before that the tires where 235/60/15. the last is a '84 SVO that until a few weeks ago had the factory tires and wheels.

Nature of the beast I guess

I think I will have a pair of P205/65R15 tires mounted up (stock optional size for 1993 2.3L cars) and see how that works out.
