I've got an '87 SC with dropzone springs and it's very low in the front. I'm getting ready to put my 16" irocs on. What size tire should I use for the least amount of rubbing? Would the stock size for this wheel be ok?

I'm in the process of putting 18" iroc's on mine and am going with a 245 width but was also told I could go to a 255 by many with no rubbing issues what so ever.

DRR

24 3/4" fender height on 245/50-16 tires and 16" IROC's. This car is a lightweight nosed V6 (so less bounce inertia from less engine weight) and the suspension is very very stiff with 800lb springs and Koni Yellows so it does not rub- Car only has a front suspension travel of 1" normal and 1 1/2" in the most severe case. If you have more travel than this- which you most likely will have double, you will be grounding out and the tire will hit the top of the fender well.

ps- you have to be hitting with the tires yoiu have right now on large bumps.

My fender height is 24 3/4" too, but I'm hoping it will come up just a little with some new struts. I guess I will go with the 245/50-16. Thanks for the help!
