Welcome to the forums bro!

Yeah, they will fit. Rub, yes, they will do that too. Not bad, but yeah, you gonna get some rubbin on your A-Arms. Tire size will be a major factor. What size you rollin w/?

I got a '91 w/ the same wheel size and they hit at about 85% lock

Its more the width than the height.

The inside of the tire is what will rub. Mine hits my "A" arm and the strut.

225/40R17 will fit 'em pretty good.

I got 245 45 17 on the front and 275 40 17 on the rear. the tire diameter needs to be 25.7 inches tall or it will alter the speedo.they dont rub bad
I can live with it and my car is lowered 1.5 in too
