What offset and wheel size will you be running with this tire size? I am running this tire size with a 18x8.5 wheel and +39 offset front and +34 offset for the back without any rubbing. if you run too low of an offset, they might rub.

My 255-40-17s only rub when you turn the wheel all the way IN- it rubs on the splash shields, I run 38mm offset wheels. I had 245-40-18 Potenza SO3s on 42mm offset wheels and it rubbed in the same spot, even worse than the 17s do. Its all bout the wheels.

I have 18" 350z wheels with the factory 245 bridgestones. Eibach springs and iluminas, The passanger rear only rubs over bigs bumps with a fat bastard in the passanger seat. I need to grind down the body seam in the wheel well to correct this.
