Keep in mind every company sizes there tires differently, a 245/45 BFG may be a little wider than a 245/45 Goodyear or vise versa. The KDWS is one of the wder 245/45 I have seen and I tried many different ones on my old 2003 Mustang GT.
My car is a 2006 with the 17" wheels and there is a little under a 1/4" between my strut and tire.
Its that or pay alot out of pocket to fix it since the dealer sure wont.

Dont complain about it, they say it is "childish"
They also will not service one when you take it in under warranty.

I know this has been discussed to death, but the one bit of information I've not seen.... under optimum conditions, just how much clearance SHOULD there be between the tire and the strut? I have an '06 with stock 17" wheels/tires that had strut rub, an alignment appeared to clear it up, but there is not alot of room tire vs. strut...I'd say 3/4" would be generous. All of you '06 owners...did you 1) Go with the Pedders set-up 2) Go with 18" factory wheels or 3) Go with aftermarket wheels with greater offset. What's the best "cure".
You forgot # 4,, just put a wheel spacer on the front,,you can get them at most automotive shops or try Pep Boys or something like that 1/8 th or 1/4 inch will do it
if i stick my hand in between the strut and wheel i have about 1/2 inch. how small does that get when your sitting in it or driveing or turning the wheel?
