Re: L78-15s in the front?

Easiest answer is to swap the rears to the front and see what type of clearance you have. This would give you 100% assurance of your fitment.

I think thats the same as the 235/75R15 which I'm running on all four. I love the stance with these tires

Ive been running the sime size tires on multiple 63's since the 1993......never had any rubbing with my 235/75r15s.....but I run stock height also. Ride height may cause rubbing if its lowered.
