How bad do 255s rub in the front on 16s?

I remember hearing that 255s will run on 16 inch wheels. I'm wondering how bad the rubbing is.

I have 255's all around and they rub ever so slightly at full lock on the front inner plastic fender well. Its the matter of turning the wheel an inch or two less, so no biggey.
