Yess I checked and searched.I found nothing that relates to what I'm asking!! What I was wondering is that I'm about to buy a set of BF Goodrich Sports 225/50/16 tires for my 16x7 rims witch are going on my 95 240. I have a Sr going in and I want the addictional traction. I know that they will clear the rear struts but what about the front. I don't want them to rub under hard cornering. I'm using them for autocrossing to. I was told that then would fit but before I spend 300 dollars for tires I want to make sure!!!!

Cant give you an answer without listing the wheel offset.

You can always run a small 10mm sandwhich spacer in the fronts for like 15 bucks if wheel offset is too high.
