245/60/15's on front + 1" lowering springs... rubbing?
Just wondering if anyone is running ~1" lowering springs (I have Hotchkis 1" lowering springs) with 245/60/15 BFG Radial T/A's tires up front, and if so, any rubbing issues?

I have 245 60/15 on the front of mine without it being lowered. I have no clearance issues either. 275 50/16's on back - also do not hit.

I am running 255/60/15 on re pop ss1's (7") with 1" lowering springs. The only time they rub is when the wheels are cranked and you go over a bump. Other than that, they are fine.

same tire size and rim but my springs appear to be original and needing replacement shocks are new just rubs at full lock w a bigger bump in the road
