I don't think your font tires are too big.They're only 225 60 r 16s. I ran 235s on the front of my 81 for years and they never rubbed. Maybe you have the wrong backspacing? Guys run 255 40 r 17s upfront all the time with no problems. What is the backspacing? Where/ when do they rub? If they rub when turning from side ti side then the backspacing is too much.

the rims look deadly btw:D I plan on some 17 x 8 and 17 x 9.5s on mine one day.

@ Zedzag : well they only rub when i turn.... the side edge of the tire rubs on the side of the well. :( but i went back... and there goin to give me 225/55/16 or was it 205/55/16s anyways.. its a smaller profile. so they said that should fix that.... and if it doesn't BLAMO! :death:

said the front end will drop aprox 2" so i hope my LTs are ok. :alert: im gettin them on tomorrow... so we will soon find out.

i got 235/60/15's on the front of my 79Z , they've been on there for a while (2 years) and they have never rubbed, so i know they work with the proper backspacing:think:

i dunno... considering i have 16"ers and well hell i dunno... i did have an engine swap from a v6 to a v8 and re-did the front end... so maybe thats it... but tomorrow when i get my FREE tires on muwhahaha we will see.... jeez i hope they work.
