Probably more like a half an inch up front... The tires are just about touching the inners. It's a little hard to measure with the tire filling up the wheel well. I am running 17x8" wheels with 4.5" backspacing front and back... 255-50-17's up front and 275-55-17's on the back. The front rim/tire combination works well but I might go with a little less backspacing... On hard turns, the inside of the wheel comes into contact with the lower control arm because of the drop spindles. As far as the back goes, the tires are a little tall (275-50-17's look much better IMO) and I definitely need a wider wheel. I will probably go with a new set of 18's next year.
