245/45/16 all around on FD with H&Rs?

Hello,

Quick question before I order a set of tires.

My suspension is currently H&R springs sitting on OEM touring shocks. I'm running 245/45/16 Potenza S03s in the rear without any fitment problems.

I'm looking at changing my two front tires (worn out ES100s in 225/50/16) with another set of Potenza S03s. I want to run 245/45/16 all around, but I'm afraid I might rub up front.

Can anyone with a lowered FD running 245/45/16s all the way around comment on any rubbing issues up front?

Thanks!

I believe the Tein S-Tech's are about the same when it comes to lowering as H&Rs. I didn't have problems with 245's on the stock rims with the Teins.

I had no trouble with rubbing using H&Rs (w/ Konis) and stock rims w/ 245/45/16 all around. I've since switched to Tein RE coilovers (stiff!) .

I have D2 coilovers, am lowered about 1.5-2" all around, run 245/45-16" tires front and back with no fitment problems. But the front ones come so close to rubbing at full lock that you won't even believe it...but no rubbing...even on the track. Go for it.
