255/45 R17 on front

Simple question....will a 255/45 R17 tire rub or have any clearance issues on the fronts? On iroc chrome replicas in case it matters.

Anyone run this size before??

Depends on backspace. I've got 275/40 with original backspace and they just rub at near full lock. I think for me 255 wouldn't touch anywhere.

Chrome iroc replicas use the front backspace and offset, which i beleive is 4.5`` and 0mm.
