Well, that's why you are rubbing. Are you able to raise your ride height in the rear?

That 245/45/17 tire reinforced. Those reinforced Azenis weigh a ton!

Yes, get the correct sizes and your rubbing issues should vanish.

Order some! Tires come from somewhere. Does Tirerack or other shops not ship to PR?
