Those sizes are really close, only a quarter of an inch off so you should be okay! Looks great

Ah, that explains it. I assume the fronts rub when you turn them all the way either direction?

I was running 245/35/20 on the fronts and they rubbed, so I switched to 245/30/20 and there has been no rubbing, even now that I'm lowered.

They may work fine for you, but at stock height I had that exact same setup on the front and it would rub all the time. Granted, the specs of your wheel has a lot to do with that too.

The fronts are rubbing on major turning....but i was told that usually when turning that much your going slow & it wont effect much. What did you do to resolve the rubbing or did you just live with it ? oh btw i have vossen cv2's i believe +38 (f) +45 (r)
