Stock Tires Rub?
I recently switched from 215/60/15's to 245/50/16's. Changed from generic steel wheels to the aluminum GTA wheels. Got the deeper dish wheels put on the front and everything, but the front tires rub the fenderwell when I turn the wheel very far. Is that possible with stock wheels and tires? Do fenderwells come in different shapes or something?

All the stock IROCs, GTAs and TAs with the 16" wheels will rub the rear of the front wheelwell, and they will rub a shiny spot at the front of the front sway bar. This is common.
