: Tire clearance (wheel offset)

I posted about this before, but it's still making me crazy. I have 15x7 rallys up front with a 4.25 offset and Radial TAs. I was told that 4.25 is plenty of offest but my tire still scrapes on the passinger side when I go into a driveway with ANY spped at all. It hits on the side of the tire so it's almost there but I am told the 67s do fine with 4.25 inch offset and the biggest offset for a 15x7 is 4.50 inch. I can't believe that 1/4 inch will help (especially not for the $200.00 it will cost). I have all new suspension and springs.

I AM GOING NUTS! Any front end experts out there? Scraping sounds out of a restored car is SOOOO uncool (ha ha).

Thanks
