    Pics showing clearance of 255/55R17 on front

    Due to budget, I am only able to afford the Goodyear Eagle RS-A 255\55R17 tires on the rear, also the fronts have a year old stockers. When I posted pics of the rears there was question of any clearance issues using them up front. When I took the car to the auto hobby shop to look at the front brakes, I took the few min to put a rear on the front to see what issues might be. The car is still on the lift and the suspension is unloaded. The pics are from my camera phone so a lil crappy, but you can make it out. This is about a wide as you can go upfront. The gap between the tire and the front knuckle (item 13) is about 1/4". And since the outside diameter of the 255s are the same as the 215 stockers, I still have the 1/4-1/2" clearance of the ball joint threads on top.
    Suspension from the manual


    Tire straight ahead. Angle is a lil misleading


    Tire turned front side out. Again the angle is a misleading


    When springs rolls around I will replace the fronts with 255s

    Side note: One of the lug chrome covers spun off, had to tear it up to get it out of the socket
