Question Tire size help

I know this topic has been posted before, but here is my question.
I just purchased a set of polished 7's & 8's, what tire sizes for front & rear can I run with out rubbing?

( The car has not been lowered yet.)

Anyone have pics of their 7's & 8's to post?

A 205/55 x16 on a 7 will often rub at the left front lip, a lot depends on the ride height, suspension settings and particular tire.

225/50 or 225/45 can be fitted if you do more work clearancing lips and setting up the suspension right.

I have never seen a 245/45 x16 on a +10.6 - 8 or +15 - 9 cause any issues whatsover, even at very low ride heights
