Do you have any problems with rubbing with the front tires? any worse than the stock tires?

Heh, Haven't looked at the board in about a week... and I see my name on top. Guess a good time to drop by.

Yea, I get minor scrubbing. When I go off my driveway, I cut it sharp to avoid scrapping the front end and in doing so the tire scrubs a little. Maybe it's cause its compressed and turned at the same time. But then again, many times I had that happen with stock as well. So not really a complaint to me. I've checked the tire, it's in good condition so no problems that I can see.

I have rubbing also. I have 255's on front though. My rubbing was soo bad that it wore away at the pins that hold the plastic fender liner on and the tire grabbed the corner of the fender and bent the hell out of it. I had to bend it back and cut part of the fender lip away and its fine now.

I'm just trying to make sure that I won't notice much difference with the tires rubbing

For me it's not much more than stock. However, as stated above, I did notice a little loss on the turning radius. I cut it sharp one time when I almost missed a turn and it scraped pretty good. But casual driving, or even cutting turns pretty sharp you won't hit anything.

turning radius already sucks, so that's no big deal
