will these tires fit on the front?

has anyone tried kuhmo 712's 225/45-16 on the front of a 930
or a flaired 911? I have 16 X 7 fuchs (no spacers). My concern is that they will rub on the inside wheel well (not the fender) when turned to the extreme.
thanks for any help.

Since 930's have 9" flares up front you should have no problem mounting a 225. What is up there now?

I had 205/50-16 on a 7 inch fuch under a 930 size glass fender (on a 911). I thought that with out a wheel spacer that it might be too close to the inside of the wheel well with the wider tire (225/45). The shorter height difference might help though.
thanks for your help

I have the new Kumho 225/"40s" on Fuchs 7s and 8 ....they are quite a bit shorter sidewall than the 55s and look a little weird in contrast with the 245/45s on the rear.

They do not rub like the 225/55s did, and when the rears wear out they should have the new 245/40s available....
