I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

I run 225/50/15 drag radials on a 1.8" drop and they rub if I almost turn to lock.

245 is a WIDE tire. I don't know considering they're on 17s

Wheel offset plays a big factor here. What offset are you running?
