Tire Rub

[STP72]

I installed some new tires and wheels today on my 88LX . 225 55 16 on the front 135 60 16 on the rear. The left front wheel is rubbing on the front fender when turning right. What are you guys running for front tire size with 16" wheels??

Cheers

i think mine are 225 50 16 and they dont rub at all...isnt a 135 a little bit narrow for the rear??

Did you mean 235's in the front and 255's in the back?

Is it a 2.3 conversion? Mine used to rub when I had pony rims on it, with the 2.3 rack...but when I switched to the 5.0 rack they fit perfect, no rubbing.

on my t-bird i sprayed some white in the fenderwells so I could see the tiremarks better. I then cut out the offending plastic (it was just a little lip sticking out)
