New 275/60/15's, potential problems Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is more appropriate for the suspension section, but as it has to do with my new tires, I'll post here:
I went from a 275/60/15 to the 275/60/15. I wasn't worried about clearance because in most of the pics I've seen with similar wheel set ups they had roughly 3-4 finger clearance between the fender and tire. However, when we lowered my car back to the ground, I have roughly 1.5 finger clearance on the drive side, and about 0.5-1 finger clearance on the passenger side
When driving home, I noticed a ton of rubbing. I got home without any damage to the tires (less than 2 miles), but I am concerned that I am not getting the proper clearance because of worn suspension components. Am I barking up the right tree? If stock stuff will fix the problem, so be it. But I am also up for advance on aftermarket shock/spring combo's you guys usually run on these big tire set ups in order to get the needed clearance. Any input helps. Thanks.
