call me stupid, but i need help with front tire size

I just put 18" rims on my '87 Z vert and the front tires are rubbing. I have eagle alloy 077 5 spoke rims which are 10" wide. The tires I put on are 245/45/18. Also, I have a 2 inch adaptor on all four. The tires fit fine on the back, but rub in the front. I'm not sure how to figure this out. Where can I find out the size I need? Thanks Rick

Re: call me stupid, but i need help with front tire size

Are your 077's set for a RWD offset? If they are still the FWD offset, they are probably close to the same as a 4th gens offset, the 077's that I was going to run were a FWD offset, but fit fine on a 4th gen.

You might need to space it out just a little bit more. And, WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM IN 10" WIDE?!?! I only found 8" at the most, and I work at a place that sells those wheels..
