It’s very prevalent on RHD cars I’m assuming. I laugh when I see guys asking to put 255/265’s up front when I’m rubbing with just 245’s and spacers!

Not sure I understand. Several people including myself have run 255 up front with no issue whatsoever. If you are looking for more tread on the ground then you need to very carefully add just enough spacer to keep the tire off the strut. That way when you turn the wheel, the outer edge of the tire doesn't hit the liner. If you add too much spacer so that it looks perfect when the wheels are straight, then you will end up hitting the liner when you turn the wheels. Hopefully that makes sense.


If on the other hand your goal is just to be more flush, but without more tread width, you still need the same approach but you'll be able to add larger spacers before hitting the liner.
