Default rubbing?

I just had two used 225/60/16 tires put on the front (they were cheap). Right now, with the wheel all the way to either side, I have about 1/2" clearance from the plastic fender wells. If I lowered the front end about 1/2" - 1", would I have rubbing problems with the front tires? I don't really crank the wheel ever when im driving unless i'm making a U-Turn.. Thanks for the help

crow, i'm not sure about the rubbing or not, but i will tell you nick with the blue 3rd gen vert has 2 of the right size tire for your car. he might give them to you for free. 245/45 i think. so send him a pm asking about it. craig was gonna use them, but he doesnt need them anymore

ok, so I shouldn't have any problems then... just sorta annoying, my car has always been about 1/2" lower than the rear in the front, and now the fronts higher from the taller sidewall haha.. looks kinda stupid... thanks for the input.
