Who runs 245/45/17 up front? (FC)

Just wondering who here is running 245/45/17 up front on their FC? If so any custom work involved in having the tires fit, without rubbing the sidewall?

On stock suspension, they are useable and dont rub unless turning while going over a speed bump - in which case they just catch the lip in the wheel well.

You can get the gaurds rolled pretty cheaply though.

If the car is lowered at all they will scrap over every little single bump. I tried it when I had the mustang gt wheels on my old car. You'd have to get the fenders rolled and then I'm sure you'd have to roll them a pretty good amount to get them to fit.
