215/16/15 hitting

[MikeMeyerhoff]

I've got two flatties that came to me with the factory size 215/60/15 tires and both of them had the tire catching the very top of the fender arch.

 

Has anybody else noticed this? Running the calcs, the flatty front tire is taller than any of the widebody front tires.

 

Maybe as the springs get soft and sag is causes it.

my 205/60/15s dont rub my widebody fenders, but it also has new kyb gr2s and brand new isolators. mines also stripped under the hood of all the useless deadweight like PS,abs,a/c, and so on. so it a little lighter out front.

Are they stock rims or after market with a different offset? I had 215/60/15's for years with no rubbing issues. Only had slight rubbing with 215/50/16's. Now I have 225/40/16's and no rubbing; something ain't right.

I have no problems with my 215/60/15s. But They do look a little snug. But no rubbing.

I've got mine dropped an inch w/ 215/60/15 and I'm golden. I think I need to reset the fron tho - it's a little higher than the rear.

mine is stock with no issues but those tires are close. Mainly with the struts but not the fenders.
