245 x 60 15's front and back?

Does anyone have this set up? I have them on the rear only and want to put them on the fron also but will I get fender rub in corners? I wanted to go 50's but lack of money and great deal on 60 series. Thanks for the replies in advance!:hail:

 

If it helps ya I got 255/50/16 on all 4 corners of my sport coupe, and they rub in the front when I cut it all the way. Eventually I'll go thinner up front.

 

Well that does help me to not buy 255's...lol.
Sounds like I might be ok with 245's on the front.
I don't like the idea of going with two different sizes on my car.

Feels like it handles poorly that way, maybe just my imagination. Thanks for the info!

 

I have 245/50/zr16's all around.

Mine rub in the front.

 

They do rub? Damn i guess 60's will definatly rub then.

Maybe not though cause I have 15" wheels

 

Same set up, mine do not rub though! But I also just rebuilt my front suspension. I think that this is the stock size for an IROC anyway.

 

I have 245/50/16zr's and they don't rub.. well, they will rub for the first like week, but then it will wear down the place where it rubs on and u will never have the problem again.. dont worry.. its just plastic that wears down, nothing serious

 

Exactly .... I never see or feel them rubbing, however, the plastic wheel well has rub marks. Maybe its from the previous owner trying to put monster tires up front, I dont know.

245/50/r16's were there origional size for my car (88 Formula) so I dont see why they should rub.

You should be fine with 245's

I got 235/60/15 in front..they rub when I turn the wheel all the way. I have 255/60/15 in back not even close to rubbing.

 

I have 245/60/R15's all around on my 83T/A and I only get rubbing when at steering extremes (ie: backing up with steering cranked). So if you want no rubbing I would suggest not going with them, all though you do get a cool look having the same all around.

I may also have a higher ratio T/A steering box which would make the comparison off a bit if you have a sport coupe.

hope this helps.

your neglecting the fact that he asked about 15 inch tires and not 16 inch.

 

BFG's 245/60/15's all around no rubbing whatsoever.

 

255/15/60 in the back - no rubbing
245/ 15/60 in the front - only rubbed for a week or so. the handling from the 2 different sizes is great. You will not be able to tell anything. And i just got my entire front suspension rebuilt with all new parts. I love the set up and it gives me that raked look without being too seventiesh, if you know what I mean.

 

i've run 245/60 x 15 for 60,000 miles no rubs at all. Glad to see the 50 's fit. that's my next choice

 

i have the 245/60/15 up frong, i had rub, had to cut some of fender rubber protector out, no big deal, had to buy b/c lack of money, tre 235/60

 

Wow, thanks everyone for all the replies. I knew i could count on the third gen people here.:hail:

Well I am on my way to pick up the other two tires after work so I have a matching set of 245/60/15.

Thanks again!!

 

so 245's fit the original firebird rims? cool, then i know what i'll get to replace my 215's
