Will 245/40/17 rubs in the front?
I may put in some 245/40/17 tires up front on my SC400, which is lowered with Eibach springs.
Does anyone know if this setup would rub? I currently have 235/45/17 tires up front and they ride just okay.
Thanks.

Jon.... I run 245/40/18 in my front without issues... none whatsover... My car is not yet lowered but I have seen your desired setup on lowered SC's and have not heard of issues.
BTW - The 245 helps so much with the ride quality...

I know. I wish I could afford bigger rims.
But again, with the amount of driving I am doing (in the downtown area), I think the 17 inchers are enough for my needs for now. My wallet's going to thank me for it.
