They\'ll rub the outer arch, unless you keep the suspension very high I think!

I guess it\'ll depend on the tyre width?

I think the problem could be on the rears, not the fronts.

I run a 265 tyre on a 10j 44 offset, and I clear my stock arch (not rolled) by about 4mm.

If they were a problem, I guess you could either roll the arches, run more camber, or run a 255 tyre.

Thinking about it more, I know most road 265 tyres are slightly narrower than my 265 D01J, so my doom and gloom prediction may well be wrong!
