rubbing, will spacers solve the problem?

hey guys, another stupid newbie question I was hoping one of guys could answer. I have 245/45/17's in the front and back but they seem to rub in the front and i was wondering if spacers would solve the problem. If so, how big of a spacer would i need. My wheels are msr series 103 with a 45mm offset, if that helps anyone answer my question. Please give me any feedback u have, thanx

your size tires could be the cause of rubbing. But I'm not too sure, and that would be an expensive thing to fix.

I've never heard of wheels that rub in the front and NOT the back. There's something wrong with your car.

The space between the tire and strut in the front is larger than the space between the tire and strut in the back.

Are you sure they are rubbing against the strut and not your front fender or plastic shield?

It is probably the combination of a 45mm offset and the 245 tires. 10mm spacers or even 5mm spacers may take car of it.
