Will this work??

Can I run 245/45-16s all around my FD, with factory rims, and H&R springs (1.5 lowering)?

Lots of people run 245/45-16 on stock wheels with no problems. I have heard a few people complain of rubbing, but those seem to be the exceptions. I don't know of anyone specifically using H&R springs with that tire size, but I would expect that at least a few people (or more) have that setup. If you don't get any specific feedback, I think it should be pretty safe to go for it.

You will most likely pull a fender lip on hard cornering. Otherwise you'll be alright. Street no problems really.

Common for autox and such. I always see pulled fender lips after a couple rounds around the track. IMO.

Thanks fellas. Perhaps I'll step back a notch on front width.
