Bob, and am I correct that starting with ERA #731 the 245s fit comfortably up front but for cars before that it was "touch and go?"

Yes. The left side tire might touch the wheel well when turned sharp left.

Default weight in the car and ride height?

patrickt Pat I ran the 15" and now 17" tires. I have no rubbing but have the car at a lower ride height than the stock setup with the 17" wheels. Can't believe that Bob would have let 735 cars get built and have a rubbing problem with them. I also think that a weight issue on the L/F corner may have something to do withthe rubbing. I have heavier spring in my car, over 400 per inch and 1/2" height differents between right and left side. This is for my added weight in the car. Rick L.
