Went for a test run. Went through back roads with dips and bumps, several turns, then got on an open stretch of highway and cruised 65 mph, through some transition bumps and bridges.

Heard no rubbing right up until I pulled in my driveway, made a right hand turn at 5 mph and the left front tire rubbed the fender pretty good. In the garage I can't tell where it touched anything on the tire.

We'll see how it goes this weekend as we get more drive time with it. I have yet to try odd angles into parking lots, and need to load the family in it as well. If I hear anymore from the front then worse case scenario I'll buy a set of 215-70's. Not a big deal.

Went for another run. Definitely rubbing on those 12 o'clock inner fender bolts when I turn near full lock. Worse turning right, but also rubs turning left. So I took your suggestion and installed a couple of button head bolts. Then I noticed something interesting. Those shallow head bolts in those locations were actually just a pinch too long and just as they touched the fender they bottomed out.

I shortened the button head bolts to about 3/4" and installed. I noticed they actually drew in the fender a little tighter. May be just enough to work.

Nothing rubbing in the rear surprisingly as close as those sidewalls look to the inner quarter panel lips. I have yet to load groceries and such in there so I'll cross that road when I get to that point, but 3 adults in the car didn't affect it.
