I realize that changing the tire sizes will fix my problem because I used to have the correct tire sizes. the issue is I just bought these tires knowing that I would be taking a risk but they were too cheap to pass, and now I'm paying the price for my risk. I would like to try and fix my problem without having to buy new tires again if possible.

i have that profile on my car, they rub for the first few hundo miles on the right side because it sits lower. the rub inst bad if you like the look. at least not in my case. i was bening rims so i went up a profile and deal with the rub. after the tires wear a bit i barely rub

Fronts are perfect. Rears - not so much. If possible, I'd recommend a squarer setup of four fronts.

You def gonna needs spacers for fronts and back, so the next question is how much of a spacer? Answer will be how flush do you want the wheels to sit?

Huh, maybe thats why I'm not really rubbing now... I've had them on for a couple months now. I just thought that maybe I had adjusted my driving to them, haha.
