I realize I may have to go to a 235/45 in front, but they may look small on the rear and if I stagger the rear to say a 255/40, it may look weird with the same size rim face. Any opinions or pictures?
17x8" 4.5 BS with a 245-45-17 rubbed a bit (outer lip) on my lowered '69. Not bad, but it did rub. And that was with very aggressive camber settings to get the tire away from the fender.
