I dont believe it is with the right offset up front. Theres a member here running that and he has no rubbing issues.

i agree, thoes are pretty thin tires. with the correct offset you should be fine.

those tires should be about 27 inches tall which is just about perfect for a 5/7

here are 255/60/15's (also 27 inches tall) with a 5/7, just make sure your wheels are the right offset like others said
