When i fitted toyo tires to my car in exactly the same size as i previously had in continental contisports i found they rubbed the cover over the ARB and a linkage at the front! Puzzled me for awhile but looking at the tyres, Toyo decided to put a lip on T1-S's and T1-R's to save wheels from curbing! Theese lips stick out around 3-4mm at the bottom so are around 5mm prowd at the edge of the rim! Making the sidewall slightly wider on the whole to a different manufacturer! Althought the actually size of the tread pattern stays the same in my case 195! Annoyed me for months but nothing 3mm spacers didnt sort!
