Tire and Suspension question
I have an 2003 LS 430.I purchased aftermarket rims 17x7.5 with 35mm offset.
Tires mounted on the rims are General Altimax Arctic 225/55R17. With these tires on the tire protrudes outward over the stock chrome rim with Michilin Primacy MXV by 15 millimeters ( just over 1/2 inch).
So now the tire is closer to the fender opening and on the front it looks like there may be an issue with fender clearance if the suspension bottoms out.
It looks like the is about 2 inches of wheel travel travel (this is the front tire)
before the side wall of the tire would rub at the top of the wheel opening .
My question is does anyone know how much susension travel there is ( my car has the air suspension) in the front and would the tire move inward as the suspension moves up to give more clearance for thr side if the tire
I talked to the shop the sold me the tire package and they are sure there will be no interferance problem
