my new tires rub on sharp turns like parking. i was asking about sizes in a previous post and paul said the factory started t******* the fenders in 78 to accomodate this size. does anyone have a picture they could send me? my home email is

I put 255/60/15s on my '75 using stock wheels without modifications and never had any problems with clearance.

i asked on the board here about tire sizes and most everyone said 255/60/15 would work on stock wheels. the back ones are fine but as i said the front rub on the front lower fender edge when turning all the way to the stops. if i hit a bump at that position my front fender would look like a nascar that blew a front tire? anybody with suggestions??
