Thank you for the reply, I've had 255 tires in the back before, but that was on a different set of rims...
In the asking of my question I really wanted to find out just if I could run the 245s on a wheel that originally came with 215s, I had lots of negative comments about that one, and I've never seen anybody run that size either... Well, today I just confirmed that Dunlop actually MAKES that tire for 7 and 7.5 inches wide rims! Whew! Good news...
Next auto-x, people, watch out!
Oh, btw, most of the rubbing that occurs under severe cornering is due to suspension deflection, given that they don't rub when you put one of the wheels on a ramp for example (to take the whee/suspension through it's range of movement). Also, excessively lowered cars that can corner quite fast might rub in the front, at lower speeds when the wheel is turned quite a bit.
Tire rubbing can be eliminated/reduced by polyurethane(or polygraphite) bushings, and the early 911 rear suspension (trailing arms), can really benefit from the polygraphite/urethane bushings. Basically design is good, but toe out increases under severe braking, if that's of any concern.
However I've gone through 3 sets of graphite bushings from weltmeister in the front of my 944, so I'm not sure if I can recommend them.
Anyway, thanks for the info, I hope this can benefit you a bit too,
Ahmet
