Why would a 215 /70/14 be catching the bottom of front of my fender?
No discI'm running 215 70R14 all around and no rubbing. Stock brakes?
Strut rod too short? Fender mounted too far back?
Diameter Difference is about 1/2" so it would be about 1/4" closer than my 205s (my strut rod bushings are OEM from 67)

It's too big.
The tire that's rubbing is close to an inch more forward from rear wheel center line to front wheel centerline 108 and 3/16ths on passenger and 107 and 3/4 on the drivers side plus the passenger side is in the wheel well moreWhy would a 215 /70/14 be catching the bottom of front of my fender?

Same ones that were on it it I did have them off is there a left and right? I cant remember are they adjustable indent think they are if so that would pull the bottom controll arm backI'd get under there and measure to see if there's a difference in strut rod lengths.
or lack of / incorrect bushing. also look at the pin and K member, something may be loose or broken thereI'd get under there and measure to see if there's a difference in strut rod lengths.

Not arguing I did get the tape out everything seems right . Seems the only fix is shorter profile tire , what's the shortest you can go and not look goofy on 14 inch wheelRight, but his post #12 seems to think that's ok. So I don't know what else to suggest. "Get the tape measure out" is the fastest way, yet he wants to argue. Oh well.
One sideboth sides or just one side?
how's your fender gaps from the doors comparatively?One side
I have 245 60 14's on 14x7 Indy slotted wheels on the rear of my cuda. I wanted to mount the same on the front but before I purchased another set of that size I mounted the rears on the front and noticed that the left front just nicked the lower portion of the front fender and the right side cleared by a safe margin. So I bought 235 60 14's on the front with the other 14x7 wheels.One side
Seems if it were the offset, both sides would rub
