I just spoke to Group A Wheels and the guy told me that the package for 4 17x8 ROH Snyper's will come with 235/45's for my 90 LX. I said what about 245's and he said that they will not fit on the front without problems. I've heard people have rubbing and i've heard people dont. i know with my stock 10 holes on stock springs and struts at full lock will rub slightly. Just looking for some assistance cause i dont want to buy 235's unless it will make my like 100x easier. Thanks!

I run 235/45's on the front and 255/40's on the back. No rubbing, and I like the slight tire width diff too.

What year did they enlarge the wheel wells? (Wasn't it 90?)

I have 245/45/17's on my 89 and I don't have full turning radius..
