Due to a mix up when ordering new tires I am getting 5 245/75/16s instead of 5 245/70/16s. I have a stock 05 Sport and I am wondering if they will "fit" for normal on road driving(how bad will they rub?). I was planning on getting a lift at some point, just not this soon(but if I have to then I'll just buy the lift sooner)

nope. The 245/75/16's will rub. Any flex and you may see your fender getting ripped up. Instead of flipping them go get yourself a lift!! =D>

Thats what i figured but I wanted to check first. Looks like its time to order the Frankenlift..I'll just have to bribe my buddy with beer and pizza so I can use his tools/garage.
